In the `net.sources' group is a package called
	magtape package for ANSII standard

However for 'notes' users there is a problem. Dicks sources are longer 
than 2**16. So something is missing and the tail of the file looks like:


moves the tape over
.I t
TM's,
.I i
IRG's (but not over a TM) and
.I c
characters (but not over an IRG). If the instructi

smu ignored 34 excess bytes
/* End of text from smu:net.sources */

This occurs in the file `magtp.1'. I've sent Dick a mail about it so he
will probably follow it up.
