It was very good of you to actually write and ask me about this. I know of
several emulator programs which distribute the Amstrad copyright code and
no one has ever asked us if they can!!!

The fact is that at one point, when we were still selling Spectrums, we
would have taken action because it was effectively robbing us of a
potential sale of a computer. But now that they are no longer made I am
more than happy for you to distribute the code because it means that lots
of people can still benefit from some of those great old games - I don't
think anyone has ever written a game as good as the original "Ant Attack"
by Sandy White and Manic Miner is also one of my favourite computer games.

So, feel free to distribute our code and the best of luck with your
software.

Thanks to Ian Cull for his work on DISCIPLE.EXE. Bugs removed
and the very useful 'convert all SNAPs' option.

Note that SCREEN$ files are NOT supported as yet in
DISCIPLE.EXE. Convert these to CODE 16384,6912 and resave.

When you redirect RS232 to disc, ALWAYS reset the channel within
the window, before attempting another transfer.
