There has been a new release of the European version of the game.  The -30
program parts represent a MINOR update of the program that was inadvertantly
left out in the -20 program parts.  There were only two changes to the code:
	1) Improved the algorithm to read the controls during initial entry
	   into the High_score tables.
	2) Fixed the program so that the "boost shadow" was visible when
	   first entering boost.

Neither of these changes affect the game play.  The first 100 board sets
shipped to Eire were stuffed with the -20 parts.  However a -30 set of
program ROMs was also sent with the shipment along with a note detailing
the changes involved and giving them the option to make the update to those
100 boards if they wish.
