   One minor compatibility point: the GS/OS lower-case flags are stored in the   
   version/min_version fields in the directory entry, but not for the redundant   
   filename entry in the directory header.  Whatever is creating the Total Replay   
   images is sticking    
   nonzero values into the header's min_version field, which could potentially   
   break something.  (CiderPress stores version=5, min_version=0 to mimic GS/OS.)   
      
   This appears to be the case in TR v4.0.1 and v5.0.  Of course, if you haven't   
   seen something break by now, it's probably fine. :-)
