That's odd, but GEEZE! it was, what, 1992? The errata came out about
the same time the softcover BBB did (which is why I had to pencil 'em
into mine).

Lemme see if I still have a copy of it filed somewhere. It wasn't
terribly long, so I'll post it to the list if I do. But I think I
downloaded it off of A-O-fragggin'-L, fer cryin' out loud, which should
give ya an idea of how common (& how long ago) it was... ;-)

Sorry folks (& DT),
Even 'tho I rarely delete anything, that SR2 Errata's not in my hard
drives and I can't find the (very) old hardcopy -- althought I did find
'Errati' in a folder for:
the "Grimmy2,"
"Fields of Fire,"
and a "Plastic Warriors" book.

Go figure?

<Disclaimer>
In the following _recreation_, it's possible that I missed one or two
changes, but it should suffice until "SR3" comes out.

Note also: there were more changes on the Errata, which were caught
in time for the printing of the softcover BBB. I didn't (have to)
transcribe these, so they won't appear above. The only one I remember
was that there should be an additional dot on the Skills Web (pg 69)
Between all of the Weapons Skills & their corresponding B/R Skills.
Again, wait for SR3.
