I thought for sure I saw this on the FTP, but maybe it was just 
the
manual, and the FTP site seems to be down so I can’t check.

This is the DOS program which checks the syntax of your TL/1
programs.  If you’re writing TL/1 code on a PC, it saves you the 
time
downloading the code to the 9100 and checking the syntax there. 
This
is on the FTP site, I think the name is TLC.EXE, but there isn’t 
an
archival copy of the original disk.

This is the 6.1 upgrade kit for older mainframes with the 
programmer’s
option, and consists of the 6.1 system disks and 6.1 programmer 
system
disks.  These are in the GitHub archive.

This is either an upgrade to 4.2 with the programmer option, or a 
more
expensive upgrade to 6.1 for machines running older software. 
They
might have cut people a break on price if they were going 
6.0->6.1,
but charged more if it was 4.2->6.1.

The description sounds more like it’s an upgrade to 4.2A, but it 
seems
odd that it would have the same p/n as the 6.1 upgrade.

I don’t have any programmer disks older than 6.0, and would be
interested in getting some.
