Here's my little addition to the field of decent papers.  Ryooki is yet
another silk-like paper, although I had come up with it independantly about
the same time that J.Pohjalainen seemed to (well, almost -- the boot code in
S.Morrell's BlueFunk warrior was the inspiration I used for the now common
place split before copying code).

Trying to keep true to form, Ryooki is a straight forward paper with no
decoy code (just filler to hid her true size) and a simple boot sequence.

;  1.0  Just an imp killing paper.
;  1.1  Use nop and jmz.f in the paper.
;  1.2  Use "mov 0,}0" instead of nop.  Use "spl @nxt" instead of "spl nxt".
;  1.3  Larger due to anti-vampire code.  Use labels instead of numbers.
;  1.4  "nop >0,0" is better than both "mov 0,}0" and "nop 0,}0".
;  1.5  Better constants
;  1.6  Split before copying, shorter
