Well, the intro could be a completely separate module, too.

I was thinking of targetting (for a 5.25" edition) two flippies thus:

1A = Startup (including title screen, hardware detection)
1B = Editor
2A = Game (First Half)
2B = Game (Second Half)

Both sides of disk 1 would be bootable.

I don't know how to pull much of this off - I'd hope I could gather up a 
few fans with 65C02 talent! - I do want to do this and would contribute in 
any way possible toward it.

I wonder what Mechner'd think. :P
