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



There are at least two revisions of Rocky's Boots. This is the older one that uses a DOS 3.3 loader.

I'm trying to trace my way through the boot chain for this. Basically. it does its loading through the ordinary PRINT CHR$(4) vector, but the code is hard to read because it does weird things with the stack and stuff. (I detected a "Print Immediate" function, and what looks like a memory zapper of some sort.)

Just enough to figure out this part or that part is what I am trying for now. If I can get each part working independently and rework their exit routines, I will try to make the program run on ProDOS.
