   Welcome back to owning a set of real computers. :) I invite you to
browse the comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at
htt://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html It answers this and many
other questions. This question is answered in section 7.2 of the FAQ;
it steers you towards Steve Cavanaugh's $3 modem disk w/ ProDOS.

   Project: Space Station. Good game, though was rather easy (BCD
numbers for budget is trivial to deal with) to hack. Never did spend
enough time to figure out the data structures for getting rid of space
debris, though.
