Re: Stepping through Rocky's Boots (to possibly P8 it)

This one is for DOS 3.3 and needs DOS 3.3.  Some more notes and gotchas:

1. Rocky's Boots and Rocky's Challenge both say you can press "S" to save
   the game.  This is not implemented (there is also no such feature in
   the older versions, plus both programs step on the RWTS so it isn't
   really feasible).  I do not know how to dummy this out.  Either way
   the execution will fall into the same code as for Exit, and will return
   to the main menu as normal.

2. The disk is FULL.  There is not one sector free.  And since I'm using
   STOS, that means I'm using 16 sectors more than would fit on a standard
   35-track disk, and 1 sector more than ProntoDOS or ESDOS would permit.

3. Because HELLO and MENU are written in FPBASIC, this version needs an
   Apple ][+.  (It is possible to cajole the old DOS 3.3 version into
   running on an integer ][, for example by altering the boot program to
   ROCKY HELLO.O, or by rewriting HELLO as APPLESOFT.  I don't think the
   new version cares at all if it's running on an integer ][, it'll just
   work.)

4. No, I don't think a ProDOS version of this is possible...not on a 140K
   disk, anyway.  It's because of disk space, not RAM.
