Would he know how? His email implies that he doesn't have the expertise to do that. Hence his need for a ready-computed chronology. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, since I'd have thought Gordon Jacoby would be more reluctant to release the individual cores than the chronology, yet the former are apparently at ITRDB and the latter is not... maybe there's some reluctance to make the chronology available because of the way Tom has approached this or due to some other personality issue? >I would reckon that Gordon/Rosanne would only > lodge the cores they have used.
