Still Alive for the Apple II
                               in roughly 20k

BACKGROUND
~~~~~~~~~~
	A few years back I implemented Valve's Portal in Applesoft BASIC.

	At the end it played Still Alive, but in horrible single-channel
	speaker beeps.  I always wanted to have this sound better.

	So here is the end result.  Still Alive in 6-Channel Mockingboard
	Sound in 80 column with cursor effects.  Also in 40 column if
	your display can't handle 80 cols.  And if you don't have a
	Mockingboard, then a simpler version using P. Lutus'
	Electric Duet 2-channel audio for the stock speaker.



Fun fact:
	The letter 'Z' does not appear at all in the lyrics to the song.
	(Noticed when I had to edge comparison for uppercase off by one)

Challenges:
	+ 6-channel audio.  Really its 4-channel (from a MOD file)
		but it actually does load and play audio on all 6 channels.
	+ Fitting it all in 48k (want to avoid disk routines if can)
	+ Printing the ASCII art (naive implementation takes longer than 50Hz)
		The ASCII art is roughly 7k.  Thought of decompressing
		on the fly, but the LZ4 code is not re-entrant and
		the music is already decompressing on the fly.
	+ Re-using the Lyrics for both the Mockingboard and Electric Duet
		versions.

Plan:
	Load compressed 16k image ($4000) at $5600 - $9600
	Decompress ENDING sequence at $1800 - $4000
		(writes background to HGR graphics automatically)
	When done:
		+  STILL_ALIVE ($5a00, 22.5k) at $0c00 - $6600
		+  Sound buffers ($3800, 14k) at $5e00 - $9600
		   (the overlap is OK, the ED file is over-written by
		    the mockingboard buffers, but that is not used by MB)
