Thank you, though I really do want to get it working on the 5.25"
version, at least this should allow me to play it.

By the way, where is the link to Amazon on your menu system?  There
doesn't seem to be a link to the page containing Amazon, and there
also doesn't seem to be a link for the "8-bit educational on 3.5"
disk" page unless one digs through the "NEWS" page.  Am I missing one
of the software menu pages?
