              10 musics - 10 graphics - 8 intros - 2 demos - 1 game

 This pack contains a disk image in MyDos format with all Atari 8-bit releases
 of SillyVenture 2021 Winter Edition. I felt they deserve a good presentation,
 esp. the graphics and music releases for which no art pack/music disk exists.
 
 This pack comes with results viewer which also acts as a menu from where you
 can directly start all releases and read the readmes.
 
 The menu remains memory resident, so you don't have to load it again every
 time. This makes watching the graphics entries and listening to the music
 entries much more fun, especially on the real machine.
 If you use loadable speeders, you have to use the memory area $500-$5ff.
 For "SIO2SD TURBO" for example press "OPTION+START" at the boot screen.

 These are the controls for the menu: 
 * Pressing any key while the menu is loading takes you to the DOS shell.
 * Pressing RESET in the menu performs a cold start.
 * Pressing RESET in while a release is running returns to menu, if possible.
 * Further controls are displayed in the menu itself.

 The following releases have been patched by me for your seamless pleasure:

 * Approximation    - Now starts with BASIC disabled
 * Duo              - Now runs reliably on real hardware and from DOS 2.5
 * You've Got2Dance - Now performs cold start upon RESET instead of crash
