- Chip memory requirements reduced
- Rogue disk access code neutralised
- Kickstart ROM file now loaded in Fast ram not Chip ram

Thanks to sjakie43 for the bug report

EXTRA:

I wasn't aware that external loading of files outside of the slave directory
had been stopped since WHDLoad 16, which resulted in the Kickstart file
no longer being loaded and the demo failing.

KickDOS functions have now been used to load the Kickstart file in a 
compatible way in WHDLoad, and now the demo works again.

Rogue disk access removed, wasn't spotted all those years ago, it caused no
harm, but its not needed.

Chip memory requirements have been reduced so that owners of machines with
only 512K of chip ram will now be able to display this demo, as everthing
else is now loaded to fast ram.

Another oldskool demo from my time on the Amiga first time around!

Not too much to fix here, other than the few rather odd coding errors
there really wasn't that much wrong with the demo.

This demo requires that you have a kickstart image as used for KickDOS

                   sys:devs/kickstarts/kick34005.a500
                   
This is because the demo uses the kickstart ROM to generate the graphics
for the Sierpinski Vectors, no Kickstart rom, no demo!

De-archive the file to RAM:, the installer will handle the rest.

Only this file at this HTTP site is supported!!
