		+	===== Analysis =====
		+
		+	Compared to Source 1 this version has a '''Autostart loader "CTW"''' added that loads '''basic program "HTE"'''.
		+	HTE shows a screen centered loading message and loads '''"BT7"''' at $1000, which shows a full screen petscii loading screen and loads '''"BIGBIRD"'''.
		+	With a small start routine at $1080 the code of the main program is patched:
		+
		+	at $8CEE JSR $973B is replaced by BIT $973B. This routine would display the CBS Software Logo.
		+
		+	at $8D15 JSR $87E1 is replaced by BIT $87E1. This routine would wait after the CBS Software Logo is shown.
		+
		+	at $8610 RTS is patched in. This reduced the wait time of the credits screen, basically skipping it.
