Subject: Changing tunes and cheat mode

 

Thanks a lot, John, for your two answers :-) .

The first one, about the cheat mode, certainly gives me something to
meditate on. Which I will.

The other one, about the tune, leaves me with an additional question:

I wrote:

and you said:

Why should I be in trouble?

I mean, if I substitute "main.tun" with "cheat.tun" (and I change the
name accordingly), and I substitute "cheat.tun" with another tune (of
appropriate length, i.e., if I understand it correctly, not longer
than 256 bytes) - and I change the name accordingly - will it not be
OK? After all, I will have two tunes of appropriate length, one
called "main.tun" and the other called "cheat.tun", in appropriate
places. So what's the problem?
