	Refering to TDS manual and INMOS Technical Note 4 it is easy
to boot a transputer from ROM making it load a network and then run some
application on it.  Now there exist C004s and the transputer that boot 
from ROM must load the network more than once in such a way that the 
C004s in the network are initialized in some order leaving in a final step
the network as needed for the application.  So the fold for making the
EPROM must contain the SC with the loader, the Memory Configuration Fold
and  MORE THAN ONE  Code Program Fold  to be loaded on after the other in
the network. 

	Is there some utilities to make such a fold and put it in EPROM ? 
The network is a mix of 4 T4s, 9 T8s and 2 T2s.  Either the Transputers
initializing the C004s have to make a SOFTWARE RESET by themselves, either
the transputer booting from ROM must have some way of Reseting the network
between successive LOADs.
