I don't have an Apple IIGS (ie: no GNO or GS/OS or RunPro.)  :-)

I remember a caveat in the README file which stated that the program was
unstable when launching programs which perform disk access beyond initial
loading.  I'm not sure whether disk access meant direct hardware access or
merely ProDOS 8 calls.  As C2PLUS fails, I assume both are off limits.

Can anyone confirm this?
