Right, either you need the cartridge, or the software must have been compiled
with the runtime package. However, the price of the run time package wasn't
$99.00. Actually, you don't need the runtime package to run software compiled
with the runtime package, there is lots of PD software written in action and
compiled for use by the general public. There is also some commercial stuff,
such as Homepac, developed using action. It is the best 6502 development
environment around, and is well worth the investment.
