version of Advanced MM/JSW Trainer.
For AMJT JSW64, I had severe problems trying to cram the BASIC loader
into the available memory (as imposed by CLEAR 24999). I had to bend
over backwards to squeeze it into the available space, and it
currently stands at 1058 bytes (the standard JSW64 loader is 965
bytes, including 6 bytes of unCLEARed variables).
The other pitfall I should mention here is that if you edit your TAP-
file in JSWED, it'll get rid of your custom loader/SCREEN$. In
Message 6139, I detailed how to use SPECSAISIE in batch-files to put
your loader back on:

cleverly 'XORs' the filename onto the loading-screen so that it will
be 'XORed' out again:
OVER 1: PRINT AT 1,0;"Bytes: MONASTERY": PRINT AT 0,0;:
LOAD "MONASTERY" CODE: OVER 0
Or you could simply use POKE 23739,111 to suppress the printing of
filenames.
