A monster crack would be to recompile PoP to run off of Prodos using the

Mechner's original editor. The source is bundled (in fact, intertwined)
with PoP's source.
The best part is that you don't have to reverse engineer anything, and
thanks to Jac's work on Wudsn, you could use an IDE to manage the code
and build everything.
I'm not sure there's enough RAM for that. (I'd have to make sure there's
at least no use of the C083 language card memory in MAIN RAM, nor the BF
page in MAIN RAM.)
In addition, I think he used Merlin and all my work is in CA65.
Converting the ASM syntax to something I can use would be holy hell.
(Still, if Mr. Sid could make a 64K version, it's prolly not totally
impossible...)
Would be nice though...
