All the online archives seem to have a bogus copy, that's a mix of
VAXmate and Rainwbow files and it doesn't work.

So I discovered I have a copy that isn't in the archives. I've
uploaded it. Details in my blog entry
http://bsdimp.blogspot.com/2017/05/rainbow-100-windows-10-disks-redux.html
about things. At least one member has these files and is trying to
make them work. Since I don't have Graphics Adapter, I've not worried
too much about them... But I've had them in my collection since I
think 2001...
