It is even more amusing when you spot the old MS-DOS TSR program named GOLD.COM being redacted in the same document. We aren't supposed to know what GOLD22.ZIP contains, apparently.

Not without finding an old Simtel CD, at any rate. (-:

There's supposed to be a legal explanation published for every redaction. What do you think it is going to be for blacking out the name of an MS-DOS TSR utility program?

The interesting question, from that video, is how on Earth the Script tool on the #Synclavier 2 managed to get a #VT100 to display musical notes on a set of staves. Actual VT100s didn't have Sixel or ReGIS.

My educated guess is either a custom character set in ROM, or (more likely) that's actually a VT240 or a VT105/VT125 (or a VT100 hardware upgraded to the same).
