I have kept them 8-). Unfortunately, "The Pawn" was hacked by an italian 
guy, who has unfortunately compiled the loader with Supercharge, maybe to 
protect his work ;-). And that is the only hacked version, I am aware. It 
does not run on QPC and QemuLator but on a 640k SQB QL.

And we should remind Steve Jones also for his *very* good SideWinder dump 
program!
