	1.  THE COS 300 SOURCE DECTAPES (1-5) PLUS A BLANK DECTAPE
	2.  A PDP-8 WITH AT LEAST 16K (OR 12K IF YOU DON'T WANT FGBG)
	3.  A DISK WITH LOTS OF FREE BLOCKS ("LOTS" IS ABOUT 3000)

YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE ABOVE ONLY GETS YOU A TC08 OR TD8E
SYSTEM.  AFTER YOU HAVE DONE ONE OF THE ABOVE
	!AND ONLY!  AFTER YOU HAVE DONE ONE OF THE ABOVE
TAKE THAT DISK TO A PDP-12 AND TYPE
		.SUBMIT COSLNC.CT/N
OPERATION WILL BE SIMILAR, EXCEPT THE SOURCES ARE
ALREADY ON THE DISK AND WON'T NEED TO BE MOVED ONTO IT.
TO BUILD THE TAPE WITH JUST THE FGBG OPTION ON IT, YOU MUST DO
THE FOLLOWING IMMEDIATELY AFTER RUNNING COSTC8.CT
OR COSTD8.CT.
  !NOTE! WHAT THAT JUST SAID.  FIRST RUN COSTC8.CT OR
COSTD8.CT, THEN TYPE THE FOLLOWING:
		.SUBMIT FGBOPT.CT/N
THIS WILL BUILD A TAPE WITH THE SAME TYPE MONITOR AS YOU JUST
BUILT, BUT ALL IT WILL HAVE ON IT WILL BE THE MONITOR, PIP,
FGBG, OVERLA, AND FORMC.
