Yes, very good, now do it from within the game :-)

You were quite lucky, by the way, to get that to work. As I
mentioned previously, the tunes are all assembled at different
addresses. It only worked because CHEAT.TUN happened to be at 63746
as well as 63232. And it was at 63746 because that's where JSWED loads
it when editing. As you may have discovered, it doesn't work if you
try that trick on a game that hasn't been edited with JSWED, and it
doesn't work if you load something else (such as main.tun) at 63746.

I realised, after I'd written the JSW64 loader, that it would work
fine for JSW128 games as well. You'll have to rely on the variant
letter in the filenames; it's S for JSW128 and V-[ for JSW64.
