Spell (SuperSoft)

Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot from floppy. Tested in sQLux with JS ROM and 640 KiB RAM. Freetype opened, the keyboard appeared and ASD was entered with JS ROM and 640 KiB. The exercise ends with a runtime error under Minerva 1.98a1 with 2 MiB. Basic functional check, not a complete test or a test on physical QL hardware. Audio and saving are not certified. The timestamp is that of the IMG in the Working package, not the acquisition date of original media.
