I did the same thing, but a few years prior, probably around 1999. Harry was
great to talk to on the phone, and very helpful. He charged me a nominal fee
for him to runoff the full original documentation (I think it actually WAS
in runoff format). So, I have a recent and complete (and "factory") set of
docs. I mentioned about "getting legal", because the copy of TSX+ that I
have came from a licensed site that was no longer running it (they gave me
their original disks {both RX50 and RX02 formats}). He said the cost to
transfer the license from my High School to me would be about $200 or
somesuch. While he did not come out and say it directly, he left me with the
very distinct impression that he really didn't care if I used it (without
license transfer) for home hobbyist use. HOWEVER, do not take his words to
me as a grant to you. What I'm driving at is that it is worthwhile probably
to approach him with this.
Along those lines, I'd be VERY interested in that ZIP file, as there are
some S&H layered products I'd like to have, plus, it'd be very handy to have
the docs in electronic format for my own reference.
