:completed a hack so the 68010 patch for the MPSW instruction lives across
:warm boots.  This would allow you to run the transformer and all your

:much do I *REALLY* have to mod code before it is mine?  This was only about
:10% moded, considering the percentage of code I replaced vs what was already

	You need to mod 100% of the code before it is yours.  Either that,
or (after looking at it and assuming no non-disclosure was signed), writing
your own from scratch.

	A MOVE PSW patch isn't exactly the most difficult thing in the world
to do, and consequently not worth being commercial ware or even shareware.
Rather, you should simply distribute it in public domain or as freeware.
