Now I feel really stupid. It never dawned on me that it's C64 software I'm
thinking of.
The hazards of having my play area set up the way it is.
I have a stack of apple and c64 drives under a small table, and a notebook
for c64 drive emulation. On top of the table is my iie, with the c64
sitting on top of it. to the left of them is the C= 1084S which they are
both sharing due to a current lack of space.
So everything is intermingled like some horrible nightmare.

Sorry everyone :)
