Chris, Thanks for your kind offer to re-image the third floppy! May I politely repeat Mattis' request to scan the disk labels? I'm especially interested in the DEC order numbers (like "BL-XXXXX-XX") that are printed on them - I use them as the primary key in my DECdoc database. The floppy names (e.g. "ROOT #1") are very useful/important sometimes, too.
Thank you again for your understanding and willingness to help! Ulli Am Fr., 4.
