We've had lots of problems with Solarian.  DO NOT try to start it on a 
Plus!  The new version that was supposed to fix the color table bug
now won't start at all: claims not enough application memory at 2MB...
This is on a IIcx with 8-bit color, and 4MB of memory.

Perhaps the author could label it "Beta", so we know what we're getting
into?
