Missing is the "Word Attack Demonstration" because I simply don't have it.
If someone has a proper crack of this, and not just a memory dump, I can
add what I don't have and finish this disk set.
Patching the program for ProDOS involved:
1. Changing the way the I/O vectors were hooked. The original code is
replaced by one part of the patch; the other patch relies on BASIC.SYSTEM
and uses the PR#A$ and IN#A$ commands.
2. Making sure CHR$(13)+CHR$(4) was removed. BASIC.SYSTEM doesn't like
this.
3. Renaming a lot of files.
There is a mild bug: during level loads (TXT READ) the screen scrolls away
(this is hidden by clearing the screen; it's less ridiculous but still
buggy). I think there may be bugs in the editor too.
