                P8 ZipGS control program.

                The ZipGS was a popular accelerator card for the Apple
                IIgs. With an 8MHz card, you could get an overall
                improvement of about 2x. If you wanted to deactivate the
                acceleration or twiddle features like the joystick
                delay, you had to be boot into GS/OS to run their
                application. I didn't like that much, so I threw this
                together. One of the cool things about it is the user
                interface, which changes the text and background color
                registers when the scan line reaches certain points.
                This gives you more than one text color on the text
                screen simultaneously. It flashes badly if you have
                quarter-second AppleTalk interrupts enabled, but then
                nothing's perfect. :-) Source code is included. This
                program is in the public domain. Written December 1991
