	I used to have a utility that will convert RDOS 3.2 programs to
DOS 3.3, done by one of the local hackers. As I do not have access back to
it now, I only can briefly say what he did.

	I think you need a 64k machine (II+ up), and moving DOS 3.3 to the
upper 16k memory. Load RDOS 3.2 game, enter into it's file catalog and
switch between both DOSes. After saving the programs under DOS 3.3, you will
need to reassign the ampersand '&' command to use on DOS 3.3.
