Vorpal Utility Kit (Epyx) ========================= "Vorpal Utility Kit" from Epyx is a fast-loader program that allows up to 25 times faster loading of files on specially created disks. Routines similar to these were used in later Epyx titles, such as "World Games". It also includes disk speed check and alignment utilities. Whilst the speed check can be used, the alignment check is only relevant if you are running it from the original Vorpal Utility Kit master disk. However, it should still be of some use. If you write the .d64 file to floppy disk using a 1541 whose alignment you know is okay, you could then use this to give a rough idea of how good the alignment is on another drive. The reverse side of the disk contains demos of various Epyx games. The label on the original disk says: --- EPYX® VorpalTM Utility Kit Copyright © 1986 EPYX, Inc.
