   Fantastic work, Lionel!   
      
   I have compared the contents of the disk 1 image with the files from the   
   cc1.zip archive and they are the same except for the SUPPORT.TXT file   
   which appear to be corrupted in the "new" disk image. The first half of   
   the file is readable but the remaining portion is garbled. Looks like   
   the contents of the two SUPPORT.TXT files were almost the same   
   originally, with only the "Use the Online manual CCSOUND.pdf" string   
   appended at the beginning - as confirmed by comparing the size of the   
   two files. I have reconstructed the file by manipulating the image   
   directly (to maintain the original file order and modification   
   date/time). Both the original and fixed version of the disk 1 image are   
   available:

   (The "new" image of disk 1 also contains PC DOS system files, which may   
   have not been there originally, but I have not touched these since we   
   don't know for sure...)   
      
   Please let me know if your FB contact wants to be credited on the page.
