The new Disk 8 is up.

Old version (doesn't like DOS 3.3 or BASIC.SYSTEM) - 19141 bytes (76
sectors)
New version (larger, but more compatible) - 21907 bytes (87 sectors)

The new unpacker starts with the FE84-FB2F-FE93-FE89-FC58 call sequence,
which basically disconnects DOS and clears the screen.  It then moves the
two parts that use the language card into place, and a piece that sits on
screen memory down into place.  Finally, it runs the now unpacked game,
which should work exactly like my old crunch once loaded.
