Nice, clean puzzle.
Kudos on working out the equations.

I totally should have approached it the other way around.

And yes. I did originally post Sauron for the 6-letter part and then, rethough...

On Solitaire, I must have been really tired, last night, not to notice that the bottom part (as letters in decimal) reads, "THIS DECODED" or "DECODED THIS" when reversed.

On "Base Nine" or "Solitaire" I think maybe we're supposed to read the dice in reverse order. Otherwise, I can think of no reason to have single "ones" and pairs where there is a blank die and a one....

Got mine to decode. I must have missed part of the first page on the original try.

Just tell them to "LPR" the file to a floppy instead of the printer.
Be aware that it may decode to a binary file, which wouldn't look like anything meaningful in a text editor.

You're right, guys.
