murgr81.tap is "Murgatroyds Revenge" for the ZX81, translated and
patched to run on the Spectrum.

It's not completely `native', as I didn't really want to pull the
Basic to pieces (e.g. all those PEEKs). So while some bits are a *lot*
faster than on the '81, other bits are a little faster but not much.

src.tar.gz contains the source for the patch etc., suitable for
building on Linux/Unix. You don't need it, it's just here for those
who like that sort of thing. :-)


The following is taken from comp.sys.sinclair, shortly after Russell released his port:

I've noticed a problem with the port - if you exit to Basic then try
to start the game again with RUN, the Basic gets caught in an infinite
loop. This is due to it rerunning some setup code it shouldn't. FWIW,
there are three possible fixes:

- don't use RUN to restart, use GO TO 10; or

- delete line 9000 before doing RUN; or

- add the following line before the program runs at all:

  9005 POKE 40003,201

The last one is probably the closest to a proper fix.

Anyway, I doubt this is a terribly serious problem in practice, so I
don't think it's really worth updating the zip.
