upgrade and the 'Softricks death' patch. If you've got a Hex editor,
you can fix this yourself; if not, you'll have to let me do it and
send you the revised file.
The bytes to change in the .TAP file are:
00014554: Was 1Ah, should be 19h
0001bd39: Was F9h, should be FAh
(if you'd prefer to make the change to a running game, change the byte
at 881Bh from 1Ah to 19h).

choices:
1. Use Ian Collier's original MAKETUNE (which I don't think anyone has
used successfully, except possibly imc himself).
2. Write a BASIC program that POKEs the tune bytes into memory. As far
as I'm aware, no-one at all has done this.
3. Write the tune in Z80 assembly, and use an assembler to generate
the tune file. This is what I've done.
4. Write a program to convert a JSW48 tune to JSW128/JSW64 format.
This is what Andrew Broad did for Party Willy.
