These will probably work, except acme hadn't been invented
yet and sam may or may not give an error the first time.
(Checked with another demo disk.) You probably do want to
start the window system, there is no way to kill the
foreground process without it.
Acme (Alef version) is in 2ed; the single-floppy version
doesn't seem to have the binary. Looking at the screenshot
that Will sent me directly, the dates on the binaries match
up to 2ed release.
I'm pretty sure the four-floppy set that came with the
CDROM has the acme binary. I don't have any floppy drives
that I trust to look at my copy.
