[Coco] TOP "The OS-9 Project" was: A 'pager' utility for os-9?

Hi Kandur,

I actually have both versions, and on looking at their contents, it 
appears that they are not completely the same.
Disk24.lzh on maltedmedia has files which are not in the FINANCE part of 
the file set which I believe that you are referring to.

Regards, Bob Devries

PS: I have just archived the whole UG file archive, and I will upload it 
to maltedmedia ftp
