I have done that to most of my tapes but I have at least one tape
where this won't work.  It loads at a low address (probably around
$300).  It loads over the text screen, starts executing, and then
loads some more from tape after that (If I remember correctly.)  I
think it may be a backgammon program.

I think it would be great to have a tape archival format that could be
used to back up tapes, and record them back on to a real tape.

I will have to go home and make a list of all my Apple II tapes I have
(there are maybe 20+) and post the list here later.  I bought them all
on eBay recently.  Surprisingly, almost all of them work.
