WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR

My final release for 2025 is a request from the EAB forums. With thanks to
Games That Weren't and the original dev for this unreleased conversion!

I was able to reduce the memory to only 512k chip, as the caching is not
needed when WHDL can load the files much more quickly.

Both the main game and the deleted level disk are supported - the latter is
optional during installation.

Enjoy! :-)
