Quite.  There's an Advanced Demuffin tutorial on Textfiles you can use to 
get most of the way there.  Then you MAY be able to just copy off the 
files with Fid (this don't work with Wolfenstein, but appears to work with 
Prisoner and Alien Addition).

- Because STOS' boot procedure resembles that of DOS 3.2, it's not as 
noticeable.  A clue that 13+16 is being used is that the ] prompt appears 
directly under the Apple ][ banner, but STOS does the same thing.  My 
cracks usually use this as it's my "collection of patches".

-uso.
