An RT-11 format RL01 with the 56 files from the DECtape is in a zip file at

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hXBmOUL_dNQaYP6qH9vQ8VVe0KrLoNut/view?usp=sharing

When trying it on other systems be aware that in some of the BASIC-Plus
source files there are continuation lines prefixed by <LF><CR> line endings
(normal lines have <CR><LF>).

Also (in case you're wondering) there are only 56 files - since this was
the maximum number of files that would fit on a DOS-11 format DECtape.

Was there a second DECtape with the remaining games from the book?  If not,
one of these days when i get a round tuit - I should type them in!

Have fun!
