Hi Stephen,

Your 'bingo' cards are useful up to a point. Certainly they show which 
issues were produced, but where are the files? This is why I put up my 
collection on Dropbox.

 From what I can see on your cards, my collection of ROD(OS9) is 
complete. None were produced after December '91.

I'm looking forward to finding the DECB side of ROD for completeness of 
my collection.
