Re: CompatiBoot: a new fast loader

CompatiBoot is a fast loader for single file games. Compared to the
plethora of other fast loaders, it offers these unique advantages:

* works in all emulators, including those with "enhanced disk speed"
mode
* uses a standard DOS 3.3 disk catalog, compatible with all disk
utilities (including modern ones like CiderPress)
* boots from any slot, not just slot 6
* can be launched from a ProDOS hard drive with DOS 3.3 launcher
* compatible with the CFFA3000 card

To use CompatiBoot, just copy your favorite (single file, binary) game
to a blank CompatiBoot disk. That's it! CompatiBoot reads the DOS 3.3
catalog and automatically loads the file. There are no menus to
navigate, no "maker" programs to fuss with.

Here is a blank CompatiBoot disk image: http://bb2k.net/download/CompatiBoot/
Since the disk has no files to load, CompatiBoot will display its
built-in help file instead.

Here are some sample CompatiBoot disk images with games we like:

Very cute directory listing!  ;-)
