Yeah, I was about to say: that's pointless Davros since it doesn't have the page breaks (and hopefully has the line breaks accurate). 😉

Also, Davros posted the Amiga version.

Don’t know if someone will need that nowadays but I read this post searching for the same thing… We can find here :
REMOVED
😉

I found this info:

The original version of the game uses type-from-the-manual copy protection (which can be bypassed by renaming the desired table to INTRO.PRG). You wont be able to choose the table until you rename it each time and it will autolaunch. So not ideal but maybe a temp work-around to check it out.

I spot a reason for making a batch file!
