PETA's Bastelbox — Replacer e Picsaver

One suite title, limited to the tested Replacer and Picsaver components. Replacer performs case-insensitive mdv-to-flp substitution: independent323-byte fixture covers all8case forms,9matches,near misses and all256byte values; exact output and executable type1/dataspace8192. Picsaver saved and reloaded32768-byte screens through actual QDOS LBYTES in both MODE4 and MODE8; four output files matched the independent fixtures. Initial incorrect assumptions about case and unused data-file header fields remain preserved. Original code/runtime unchanged. FORMATER and RENAMER untested and excluded from approval/count. Documented functional check, not full validation. ROMs not included.
