NOTES:

Well, this certainly turned out to be an interesting little install. I took
this one on after receiving a bug report (thanks Joe!) that the copylock
didn't work.

Turns out the old install never cracked the protection at all. Wrong copylock
key, not wired in the correct places anyway, and a sly protection check CHECK!

Unfortunately, having the copylock key in $F4 wasn't the only problem - there's
also a nasty check the game after 5-10 minutes of play which grinds your
character's speed to a painful walk if the game picks up on you modifying
the protection check!! So I've cracked this by removing all traces of my
modifying the code once the fake protection wiring has finished.

The intro can now be skipped with the fire button at any time - after tons of
testing I was getting sick to the teeth of waiting for it!

So finally this install has been coded 100%! It's a charming little game and
deserves a run-through :-) Enjoy!

Special thanks to Joe for submitting the bug report that prompted me to take
this one and write it properly!

Thanks also to Luca "Hexaae" Longone for submitting a bug report regarding
blitter glitches in v2.0

Greetings to Codetapper, Cfou, Psygore, Wepl and all WHDLoad supporters!
