Hi Paull,
I would be happy to if I only knew how:( I started with a c128 back 
in late '85, but programing and hacking never got thru my thick 
shull:) I taught my two children math, phonex(sp)? money, time all 
before they started kindergarden and attribute it to their good 
grades in school. I've still got the c128 and a bunch more that I 
have collected over the years. A friend of mine I use to work for is 
almost ready to hand over his setup to me. He's got a couple of 
cmd floppy drives, a cmd hd full of software; he subscribed to 
Loadstar 64 and 128 and got most all of them before Fender quit 
and retired.
If you can tell me in layman terms how to extract the code you 
want let me know and when I get it I'll try my best to get it.
