	I'm happy you found something you can use.  I hadn't seen any rom
dumps (from the RIOTs in the Kim) anywhere, so I made them.  :)  I rom
dump every computer I have, since if you lose the firmware, you can't
repair the unit, while you can always scavange parts from somewhere to do
repairs.  :)  I have every firmware rom to every computer I have.

	The Dec 17, 1981 date is the assembly date on a cross assembler
from the source code listing.  That date is inserted by the assembler.  I
think it was assembled on either an IBM-PC or on an ISIS-II machine.
