Not entirely. I found a copy online: http://pastebin.com/2jZpufS6 but
at a quick glance, it does not match the listing I am looking at, one
that I printed out way back in the early 70's.


And, the listing is bigger than I am willing to key, about 50 pages of
line printer output. I will look at converting the online copy back
to match my listing, sometime.


I used to have a copy on tape, that I got in the early 70s, but I
doubt that it is still readable. Besides, all of my 1/2 inch tape
drives have died. :-(


Except for the one that runs on 48V DC, for which I don't have a
power supply. And I haven't seen it in years. :-)
