The byte before the string /TD2.MASTER/ should be the number of 
characters in that string, expressed in hexadecimal. You have to replace 
it with the length of the replacement string.

By the way, this information about altering the length byte of the string 
as well as the string comes in handy in many spots. For example, I used 
it in three places in synthLAB to change its startup music to a nice 
piece by Mannheim Steamroller. :-)
