I had exactly the same problem as Robbin Brown when I tried to
install Fortran 10.7 today, except that the complaint was that
"os 10.2 not found" instead of 10.0.  (odd, since I'm running
10.1).  I deleted my original AA to save disk space, which is
probably the problem.  How do I pull just the release index off
tape? Do I use rbak, or distaa, or what?  What rbak command
line will pull off a single file?  Also, the install++ complains
that syslib wasn't found either, which is probably a related problem.
Does anybody know what release index I need to pull off for this?
By the way, this is NOT a problem that is fixed in 10.1.  I am
running 10.1, and using the latest version of the installation
tools pulled of the fortran 10.7p distribution tape.  It seems that
this all represents a serious bug in the installation procedure,
particularly since the Apollo documentation explicitly says you
can delete your AA after you are done, if you want.  And what
if the OS was installed from an AA on a different machine than
the compiler AA?  With lots of distributed AA's you'd need links
flying all over the place.
    This one really cries out for some fixing
