OK, so I've created an online archive of MR12.6f (released 2017).  It's in:
<URL:ftp://ftp.drivehq.com/dmwells22/mxprogs/multics-source/README.html>

I suggest you start with the README file at either:
<URL:ftp://ftp.drivehq.com/dmwells22/mxprogs/multics-source/README.md>
or
<URL:ftp://ftp.drivehq.com/dmwells22/mxprogs/multics-source/README.html>

Please let me know of any problems as I've done only minimal testing on it.
