I managed to get Wop Gamma to work, it was a while back, but I think it went something like this... (I haven't got a PC at home at the mo. (still! |:-s) so I can't check). First I formatted a disk and put samdos2 onto it. Then I read in the boot sector (track 4, sector 1) of the Wop Gamma disk and had a look at it with a dissembler. It appeared to load in the screen, and then a block of code, directly from the disk and then call an address. I changed the final call to a ret or a rst 08 or something then put this altered version at the start of a page high up in memory (>= 272K) and called it from basic. After loading I saved the memory from 32768 (I think) to 272K-1 to the new disk, then wrote a little auto file to load that code and call the address which the original boot sector called. Once you've copied this disk to .dsk format: hey presto! I hope I didn't forget anything (it was last November). And remember children; you can only do this to your OWN original copy......... HTH.
