Well, it doesn't really have a name... I did want it to alphabetize before
Basic.System, so I settled on A.H.H.H.SYSTEM. (The Ahhh... of relief)

In fact, it's so tiny, here's a copy. This SYS file will install the quit code
in memory and the exit (to the quit code). If it is run and the quit code is
already installed then a cheap little credit page is displayed.

This quit code does more than Apple's, in less space (the official 768 bytes),
and works on ANY Apple ][ or compatible. It also is compatible with ANY 64K
version of Prodos. Apple's code is, I feel, a lousy piece of software compared
to mine because it requires the 128K, 80 column standard environment and can't
fit in the original Apple-guaranteed quit code area.

Make it the first .SYSTEM file on your boot disk. I do.
