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.
