there are a couple of different CODE files, the main Bubble n Squeak executable

the OCS version has a 'Gimp & Gloppy' text that i presume was the original pre-release name;
now the coverdisk demo replace that text with 'Peter is a WANKER!'

The following dialog is on disk, but no characters use them during my gameplay till the end. Might be from a cheat mode or debug mode. Atari ST version also has the same dialog.

"EEH BY GUMM LAD"

"I BE THE LOONEY CLEANER OF INTERCEPTOR"

"WHERE ARE MY LOO ROLLS"

"I WILL GIVE YOU A THICK EAR YOUNG MAN"

In the first track of both disks:

This is a CUSTOM bootstrap,if you think it is a virus and remove it then you have wasted ?25 LEAVE ME ALONE

The character before 25 is hex 9C and I think it supposed to be pound currency symbol.

The sneaky check he calls Readylock hidden in what appears to be a normal AmigaDOS booting disk was the final hurdle.

Although one concession from me, I'm not pissing about making it work in 512k, ripped his disk format and directed all loaders to load decoded tracks from ram.
