Oh for crying out loud, it's not a problem on the IIgs either!

On the disk, edit block $2F and change byte $80 from $4F67 to $5768 (I think
that's block 2 in the file MF).

I've had that patch since the late 1980's. I'll admit some games can't be
(or are
diificult to) run from a hard disk, but there's not that much that can't be
fixed. Heck,
I picked this stuff up (or worked it out) for my own software - I'm sure
your average
pirate could give you the answers for just about any software.
