So what are you waiting on, get on with cataloguing ;-)

I have a similar problem with some code I received as GIF images. The
listings I received had the binary object code included so it is
possible to check the object code against the source to verify cross
check accuracy. Needs some programming but that should be fairly easy.

I'd be happy to volunteer for such a project in exchange for the full
source and perhaps some more 2100 documentation.
