It seems to have worked fine, but I have a question to John and
Andrew and those among you who have technical knowledge: is my
current .tap file identical to the original .tap file with the
exception of the four values modified by POKEs?
Probably not. You can compare the two with the DOS command
fc /b firstfile secondfile
but my guess would be that a good deal more than 4 bytes have changed.
Can there be any
problems after the operation I have done?
I wouldn't expect any. The bytes that changed will be the game state
(things like Willy's current location and position) and these will be
reset each time the game is run.
