Frak! - Aardvark Software		It's quite possible that my cracked copy of Frak! was passed around the UK quite a bit - the copy protection was mildly fun to crack and, yes, I quickly came across the Captain Pugwash tune in the BASIC preloader. I was writing a tape-to-disk copier in 6502 at the time (I'm not sure I gave anyone a copy of that back then!), so naturally I rewrote Orlando's code in 6502 and made it interrupt-driven too.

Result: A toggleable option in my copier to play the Captain Pugwash theme in the background while the copier was reading the tape device and writing to disk in the foreground. A suitably ironic re-use I thought :-)
