M3SE system and development files

The files in these archives, even the text files, should be copied to the TRS-80 in binary transfer mode.

Don't attempt to copy every file in the archive; just update the ones that are listed in the change log below. Otherwise you might overwrite open system files, or cause files that require fixed locations on the disk or in the directory to be moved. If any such file ever needs an update I'll provide instructions.

Most of the system files are password-protected, so you should log in using the LDOS system password "RS0LT0FF" (zeroes, not the letter "O"). For example under Windows Explorer I would use the URL: 

	ftp://bartlett:rs0lt0ff@trs-80

The username doesn't matter.

You should expect that files listed under archives with dates later than when you ordered your M3SE should be updated. Copy them from the latest archive.
