We recently found one last bug in the boot program for RL's. If the file that was supposed to be booted from the boot program was not in the first directory block, it would stop before getting any subsequent directory blocks. Below is a complete diff listing of all the bugs:

diff rlboot.s.old rlboot.s

20d19 mov $20,r0 / This assumes you DON'T strip off the 16-byte header > / clr r0 / This assumes you strip off the 16-byte header 92d91 mov ,(r1) /wc into rlmp
