Developer Message

Block 0204, Offset 0x1085 on an original tape copy contains a rather friendly message from programmer Chris Wood.

HI MR HACKER. WELL DONE IN NEGOTIATING SPEEDLOCK. I NEVER HAD MUCH FAITH IN IT,
SINCE I REGULARLY TAKE IT APART ON THE SPECTRUM FOR 'YOUR SPECCY' MAGAZINE.

ONLY KIDDING DAVE! SORRY I CANT SUPPLY ANY POKES BUT I HAVENT FOUND THEM MYSELF.

BUT GOOD LUCK. MANY THANKS TO ZZKJ, WITHOUT WHOSE HELP(?!) I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE
FINISHED THIS PROGRAM MONTHS AGO. NO, SERIOUSLY IF YOU NOTICE SOME PARTICULARLY
DEVIOUS AND OBSCURE (AND I AM TOLD, MEGA-EFFICIENT) CODE, IN THE FRONT END.
THEN HE HELPED WRITE IT.

I DID THE PROGRAM AND BLOODY HARD WORK IT WAS TOO TO DO IN TWO MONTHS. WHICH IS 
WHY I TOOK THREE!! MAYBE YOU CAN WRITE TO ME CARE OF VORTEX OR HISOFT AND SAY
WHAT YOU THINK. IM NOT TOO CLUED UP ON THE ARNOLDS YET AND SO PROGRAMS LIKE 
SORCERY ARE BUGGERS TO HACK INTO. HOW DID YOU DO?
