       Name: Elite loader (Part 2 of 3)                              [Show more]
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Loader
    Summary: Include binaries for recursive tokens, Missile blueprint and
             images
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: No direct references to this subroutine in this source file


 The loader bundles a number of binary files in with the loader code, and moves
 them to their correct memory locations in part 1 above.

 This section is encrypted by EOR'ing with &A5. The encryption is done by the
 elite-checksum.py script, and decryption is done in part 1 above, at the same
 time as each block is moved to its correct location.

 There are two files containing code:

   * WORDS.bin contains the recursive token table, which is moved to &0400
     before the main game is loaded

   * MISSILE.bin contains the missile ship blueprint, which gets moved to &7F00
     before the main game is loaded

 and one file containing an image, which is moved into screen memory by the
 loader:

   * P.DIALS.bin contains the dashboard, which gets moved to screen address
     &7800, which is the starting point of the four-colour mode 5 portion at
     the bottom of the split screen

 There are three other image binaries bundled into the loader, which are
 described in part 3 below.
