Wasn't it Paul Burgin who wrote the Dragon 32 conversion of Manic
Miner, rather than Roy Coates as it says in the scrolly for JSW64:
Dragon 32 Manic Miner?

Evidence for Paul Burgin:
1. http://jswremakes.emuunlim.com/Systems/dragon.htm
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manic_Miner
3. http://jswremakes.emuunlim.com/Systems/dragon/mmdragon.zip

mminer.zip > Manic_Miner.cas

According to my Java BinText utility
< http://geocities.com/andrewbroad/cs/java/text.html >, this file
includes the substring "CASbyPDB". Perhaps he merely converted it to
Dragon-emulator format?

The scrolly message comes from the Dragon game itself; I didn't
write it. Your utility won't find it because it isn't in ASCII :-)
