So is there no kernal.asm or equivalent now: is it all done by blocks 62 
and 66 etc.?  (Oh, hang on, they’re just the boot.asm equivalent aren’t 
they?) Has this been sourceless too, inasmuch as it’s built on CF05?

The CF2EXE tip is handy as two versions can be compared side by side.

Thanks,
Jason
