It's going to take some work but I plan to write a converter (from 86 asm
to 85 asm string.)  My first thought was to convert source code but I
looked on the web and the source to the best games isn't posted.  Most of
the source is for games that are already on the 85.

It's just that I remember Martin Hock saying that he kept Slippy 2 under
14k so it would be easy to port to the 86.
