# Instructions / comments

Just Drag the PRG file into VICE and it should autoboot.

It's pure BASIC, no ugly tricks. To save five bytes, the two lines of the
original prototype have been combined into one overlong line using a ML 
monitor. BASIC can handle it just fine, but the C64's fullscreen editor
won't let you edit lines longer than 80 characters properly.

In other words: if you feel like messing with the code, you'll have to 
manually type in half of the code again to generate a 2nd basic line - it's 
not that much text anyway ;)
