Yes, indeed.  If you want TWO Adager MemoCubes, though, you have to provide
proof that your story has been PUBLISHED outside of the mainstream HP3000

Where do the spoolfiles reside now?  How about some kind of data

spoolfiles, then there might be no choice...

If you had this information on a Mac, it would be a piece of cake to create
