Power Up - .TAP Conversion
++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is a really cool Demo By MegaCode/Extreme. First though, the bad
news. This .tap file is not a true full version. The full demo contains
an amazing movie section, which uses a custom TR-Dos loader. If you want
the full demo, then track the .TRD file down and run it on something like
X128, Spectrum Emulator 3.01 or Emul020. The good news though is the rest
of the demo is still intact and brilliant. This has to be loaded in USR 0
mode as it crashes from Tape Loader or 128k BASIC.

The TR-DOS loader was removed as per the instructions in the text file
for the demo. The 'ram_#13' file was depacked, patched and recrunched
with Imploder (I have got MsPack, but it was easier to pack it with
Imploder). You'll notice a gap in the demo, where only the music plays.
I'm guessing that the patch knocks out the calls to the loader, but the
music routine is still working. The demo hasn't crashed.

That's all,

Adam
