Ok, got me here. I tried it out, and the LoadWB on my A2000 WB disk is
about 500 bytes longer. Running the new LoadWB produces "Still a
champion", while the old LoadWB gives "We made Amiga, they....". 
I made the assumption that Workbench is in ROM so changes in WB
meant changes in the ROM. I forgot how flexible this machine is.

A snoop through the new LoadWB didn't show anything interesting though,
so the new message is encoded somehow.

Now Bob, have you got a simple fix for this C= key here to the left of my
space bar? If I just run an old version of SetMap maybe?  :-)
