HISTORY
Version 2.2 (26.06.2022) done by JOTD:
- "main" program needed unpacking, else wrong version was displayed
- faster startup (only unpacks once in most versions at startup)
Version 2.1 (2022) done by JOTD:
- fixed music
- re-did keyboard routine (Girv tried to fix it but it was unfixable...)
- added quitkey on 68000
- now uses 512k chipmem instead of 516k
- reworked source code, replaced missing Girv's specific source code that
isn't provided anywhere, but can be guessed so that's okay :)
