Is it possible to have a little extra chunk of BASIC output with the output of the Appmake tap header?

I am experimenting making a custom loader that needs to change a variable and pass it back into BASIC to load something from Spectranet...

There's two ways to do it:

-Cz-noheader

This will just create a file with the binary in it. You can then prepend your custom BASIC file in .TAP format

-Cz-merge=XXXX

This will prepend the .TAP BASIC loader in the file XXXX and the output will have your custom loader and the binary file.

If you want to get fancy, there's also -Cz--screen=XXXX which will add the raw 6912 byte file XXXX as a loading screen.

Oh yeah, I plopped in a loading screen for the RS232 versions of PLATOTerm. Thanks for that.
