To be clear, you're talking about the Electron version, I assume?

It may sound a small point - but that is a rewrite, so I err .. "classify"
it entirely separately from the BBC release Rich et al have been playing
with - as the pokes and stuff won't work without modification.

I've seen copies of the Electron version with both the AnF logos (both on
ebay at the moment, in fact) - but not under the Pick & Choose label.  I'd
be quite interested in a decent sized scan of the inlay card and tape, if
that might be possible?  I'm not sure there's much chance of it turning up
on ebay any time soon ...

I wonder if it's possible to compare the various releases byte-by-byte, to
see if there are any differences in the files.  Something akin to the old
DOS comp command, which would flag up if a version had been recompiled when
it was re-released ... or perhaps something that would generate a checksum
for a file which could be run against each release of the same file to see
if they tally.

I trust you're talking about sleep ... ;)

If you're talking about Chuckie Egg, then I may have wasted a small part of
my life of late ... !
