Thanks for that - that's pretty detailed!

So you think I'd be all right putting up such images like inlays
(including protection cards) on the grounds of "archival"? I can always
put up a "If this is your work and you object, let me know and I'll take
it down" kind of thing, but I can't see anyone bothering - not like
Software Projects are still in business or anything, but Amstrad are, of
course.

I also want to make some videos of the games running on real hardware
where I can - as much as anything I don't want this game to be lost to the
ages, in any flavour... if anyone else finds it useful or interesting
that's just a bonus. :)

Thanks again, if people are interested I'll keep you all informed as to my
progress....
