John, a further question: I resaved the game in JSWED as a .tap file.
Are things like Willy's current location and position saved in a .tap
file as well? I thought these values were related to a .sna or .z80
file, but not a .tap file, because when you load a .tap file you
always start the game from the beginning, so it seems like all such
values are sort of reset - start from "point 0", as it were.
The values are still saved, but when the TAP file is loaded the game
startup code overwrites them, so it doesn't matter. The same thing
happens, by the way, when JSWED saves in SNA or Z80 form; the
registers are changed so that the game resumes at the start rather
than at the point the snapshot was saved.
