- After my earlier post on this subject, I went back and did some poking
- around. It appears that GK.EXE is some form of macro compiler (look at
- the path in the PIF file) which links the files listed in boot.rkb and
- runs them. All the files in this list are present except one (The list
- consists primarily of the .GAL files), named coldstart. Not actually
- having GK.EXE, this is only a theory.
-
- On another note, whoever created the zip file included two copies of
- INTRO.ASM. They appear to be identical.
-
- This makes me wonder whether this is an officially released demo, because
- most demos come with normal executables, and don't have to be compiled.
