Ah yes, I remember... I digitised me saying "copied by the Dirty Devil" and
stuck the data file and the replay code in the startup of DOS disks. One of
the faster DOS replacements came with a screen that showed every time you
booted. I caught that hook, and used the space that the screen would
normally have used. Had another setup that played the first couple of bars
from the William Tell overture. South African apple dudes might even remember :-)

Ah, yes, I remember many many nights playing Wizardry. One of the few games
I actually bought in those days... also one of the few games I actually
played, along with Zork and Lode Runner. Retrospectively I guess I owe
Broderbund for a copy of Lode Runner, I really played that thing...

Scan it and post it somewhere. I've got some slow space.
