[TUHS] Strange Reference on Usenix_77 tape

Greetings,

I was looking at the various Usenix tapes we have in the TUHS archive,
trying to sort them all out.

In looking at ug091377.tar.gz in Applications/Usenix_77, I found this
paragraph at the end of its read_me

"     Finally, if we have an executed Harvard License on file  and
      if  there  is  room  on your tape, the directory "h" contains the
      newest (July 1977) release of the HRSTS system.  We have also in-
      cluded the old Toronto release in the directory "t" if it was re-
      quested from a Toronto licensee."

This tape had the 'h' directory, so I'll be playing around with the HRSTS
system to see if I can get it booting in TUHS (I didn't know we had this
til now)...  This tape did not have the 't' directory, however.

What is 'the old Toronoto release'? I've not seen references to it so far
in the other histories of this early period I've encountered. And does
anybody have a copy of it?
