Hi David
Whose words are whose? An excellent question. In 1979 Denis gave his notes to Greg Pickering to write TROM. Those notes do not exist to check how accurately Greg did the job. Many people complained that the book was hard to understand and needed an index. Greg quit as the distributor of TROM around 1990 so Dennis turned over Australian distribution to Judith Anderson. Judith responded to concerns about spelling and grammar errors in TROM by editing the text, adding her own interpretation of how to run TROM to the end of the Manual as an appendix and who knows what else as no editing notes were made and the original 1979 is gone or at least I have never seen a copy. The TROM manual at the Freezone site is the one I started with and is the Judith Anderson edition. So if anyone is serious about getting the original version and verifying that none of the tech has been lost you need to contact Greg and get Dennis' notes or at least a copy of Greg's original 1979 version of the manual. Thanks for asking David, everyone should be aware of what version of TROM they are studying.
