Subject: microsoft's wimpy copy protection in the Osobrne distributed version of bascom

early on in the initialization code, this
is some osborne dependant code to swap in a set
of roms (from 000 to 1ff) and then procede to try
to write to them...if it fails, the sucker just
warm boots, and if it doesn't, then you're ok.
here's the patch so anyone can use it:

location 4436h is the starting location of the 
`anti piracy' code. just insert
       JMP 4457
with DDT (then `save 128 bascom.com' will give you a copy
of bascom that will work on anything!
