Maybe. Don't worry about digit shortage, though, because after 2.2.9
would come 2.2.10 and so on.

What about when we set out to write a MM game in JSW64? I am under
the impression that JSW64:MM uses a patch-vector for the swordfish-
routine (and other special effects?). So is it better to start with
JSW64:MM and fix the memory-map, or to upgrade 48K JSW to JSW64 and
deeply copy the patch-vectors from JSW64:MM into the new game?

Start with JSW64:MM and fix the memory map.

When I open MANIC64{W,Z}.TAP in JSWED, it recognises them as JSW48
games, and the room-data appear to be completely garbled.

Save them as snapshots and load them into JSWED that way. They've
got nonstandard filenames in the tape loader which JSWED doesn't
recognise.
