RPL specs



Well this list is very quiet so maybe I'll start off with a message.
Just saw this in an embedded programming newsgroup. It might be of
interest to those working on mknbi-dos. The correct URL is:

	ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/drg/RPL/

Stumbled accross this little gem quite innocently, and did a double-take,
then took.
try:
	"http://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/drg/RPL-ROM/rplrom.zip"

(yessss, you see correctly, that is microsoft GIVING away perfectly good
software... guess anything bellow a couple of meg just doesn't fit into
their "corporate portfolio" anymore...) Microsoft has put this into the
public domain as an aid for advanced programmers.

Have fun
Robb Main.
