I mentioned before the disk space issue, but the raw materials I was using 
for the title I have here:

http://1.buric.co/rockyttl.dsk.gz

The "paint logo" routine is from Gertrude's Secrets but I think it's the 
same one Rocky's Boots used.

My attempts at optimization didn't make it small enough that I could ram 
it together with the ROCKY.SYSTEM code and use it that way.

The current disk image has 8 blocks (4 KB, minus filesystem overhead) 
free.  ProDOS' kernel is 32 blocks; using a 1.1.x kernel will provide an 
extra 1K, *possibly* JUST enough for a compressed logo if I'm lucky.
