[downloadable from http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Jsw/mmdiffs.html%5d.
Using it will be trickier, as my Manic Miner Screen Editor does not
recognise the patch (perhaps in the future, but I have no plans to
modify MMSE at least until I get my own PC with a decent Spectrum
emulator :) ). This means, for example, that MMSE will still only let
you edit vertical guardians in Rooms 8, 10, 12-14, 16-19, as well as
ignoring the top five bits in Offset 627 (which uses the bottom three
bits to specify the room's border-colour).
For MM: Allana Truman, I plan to write plain rooms first and put the
special effects in later (not using MMSE). Whenever I want to write a
room with vertical guardians, I'll use a room-number that allows them
and then copy it to whatever room I want.
