Summary: faster than a speeding hard disk, that's a FACC

This is such a neat trick, I've got to pass it on ...
When you leave the BARDSTALE game, you get a CLI. This gives you some
useful capability in SPITE of the BL**DY COPY-PROTECTION...

So, execute the following algorithm :
( CAVEAT : I've done this on my A500 w/A501 + External-Drive; on other
systems ( especially systems with less than 1Meg of RAM ), who knows? )

1. Boot Bardstale in DF0 :
2. Leave the game
3. Stick a workbench with FACC and NEWCLI on it into DF1:
    ( On my workbench FACC is in :system/facc, NEWCLI is in :c/newcli )
4. type "DF1:c/newcli" followed (of course) by <RETURN>.
    CLI-2 should pop up. Resize/move the two CLI's to taste.
5. click into CLI-2.
6. type "DF1:system/facc" followed (of course) by <RETURN>.
7. FACC will appear. Increase the number of buffers but don't go too far.
     ( I've found that 512 buffers is safe, but 880 is NOT. )
8. Click on the ORIGINAL CLI.
9. Type "bardstale". You will soon have "Bard's Tale" and FACC. The
increase in user enjoyment is substantial. Decreases drive wear also.

Kudos to C-A for TRUE MULTI-TASKING.
Kudos to ASDG for FACC.
Kudos to IP and EA for BARD'S TALE.
Kudos to Discovery International for MARAUDER II, as now that my
      original (legal) B's-T disk has gone totally SOUTH, ...

What other copy-protected games can FACC accelerate? Try it.

Statement of (useful) position : I will NOT pirate software, and I
will NOT buy copy-protected software until it is included in the
Marauder-II brain-files ( I have brain-8 ). A harddisk could change this.
