NOTES V1.4
----------
I saw a note about problems with this patch in the Amiga group on
facebook. Quickly checked the patched and there indeed was an access fault
after some levels had been played, this was caused by too less extended
memory set in the slave. I have fixed this problem, fixed all interrupts
and also added 68000 quitkey support. Additionally I added the possibility
to enable the built-in cheat by pressing "C". You will have unlimited lives
and can choose levels with keys +/-.
I have also started to add high-score load/save but it requires a bit more
work which I'm currently not willing to spend. I will add this feature
in V1.4 of the patch.
