	Can someone confirm whether or not this _new_ copy on ccosun is
fully functional? I tested it on my ROM 3 and (as I expected) it crashed.
I then brought it over to my ROM 01 IIgs, and this time it got as far
as playing the jazz-music and showing the animated "rings" moving through
the saxaphone outline. Once this little intro was done (static pictures of
some a jazz-band with color-cycling in background) it starts loading the
rest of the demo and then crashes into Monitor and sounding the system-beep.
(Actually, all you see is a blank screen and hear the "beep", but it has
crashed into a Monitor prompt and various garabage underneath all that...).

	So, either something in my ROM 01 is conflicting with the demo,
my copy somehow became corrupted in the process of downloading and/or unpacking
(doubt that), or the copy on ccosun is bad again. If anyone got it to run
beyond the sax-player intro (ROM 01 ONLY), please let me know...
