Have you asked in the Commodore or Classic Computers echo. And before 
you spend a lot of effort you really should fire up a C=64 and boot the
disk. I've had them go bad on me just sitting in their storage sleeve
in a disk box. I blamed it on A) cosmic radiation or B) space aliens.

      Title: Commander's Palace Seafood Gumbo
 Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 4 servings

      6 tb A-P flour
    1/2 c  Shortening or lard
      6 cl Chopped garlic
    1/2 c  Diced onion
    1/4 c  Chopped bell pepper
    1/2 c  Chopped celery
      2 lb U-40 shrimp; peeled
      8 oz Can tomato sauce
      3 qt Water
      1 lb Crab meat from claws
      1 bn Chopped Parsley
    1/2 ts Thyme
      3    Bay leaves
      8 oz Frozen okra
    1/2 pt Oysters w/liquor
           Salt & pepper

  Make a roux with the flour and shortening. Cook flour
  and shortening in a large pot over medium-high heat
  until the flour turns brown and begins to smell nutty.

  Add garlic and cook until golden brown. Add onion, bell
  pepper, and celery and cook until transparent.

  Turn heat down to low, and add shrimp and tomato sauce,
  simmer 10 minutes, stir in water, and blend well.

  Turn heat down to simmer and add all other ingredients
  except okra and oysters.

  Cook for about 30 minutes add okra, and cook until the
  okra turns bright green.

  Add oysters and cook 10 minutes longer. Serve in a soup
  bowl over steamed rice.

  NOTES: Do not use a cast iron pot to cook the soup, it
  will discolor the soup. Stainless steel, or a ceramic
  pot like Le Cruset is recommended.
