After finding a windows port of Santa Paravia, I think it was either
this, or something very close to it.  Perhaps the Apple ][ port (a
BASIC version I could not locate), referenced at the website where I
found the windows version, had some slight differences that explain
it.  In any event, it is very close, and I will try to find the actual
Apple version.  The windows port just isn't the same.

Thanks!
