Filename: help-pgeist.prg / help-pgeist (D64).d64
=================================================
Annotation:
-----------
The file size (511 bytes) can be observed from
the "help-pgeist.prg" file. However, additional
"help-pgeist (D64).d64" file is also provided.
This is a full disk-side image.
The image contains one file: the same identical
"help-pgeist.prg" file.

This is here, because the "help-pgeist.prg"
employs some (rather standard) tricks to keep
the size down, tricks that make it fail to run
properly using the default 'autorun' function
of some 1541 Ultimate II+ hardware revisions.

So, the "help-pgeist.prg" file can be normally
loaded, then manually started using the
ubiquitous 1541 Ultimate II+ hardware, but the
standard 'autorun' feature of the hardware
cannot be used.
However, if You want to use Ultimate 1541 II+'s
'autorun' feature, You can, but then please use
the "help-pgeist (D64).d64" version.
=================================================
Headsup: file also has sound.
