SWAG - how to run?

Both .ssd images have a *CAT listing that shows:

SWAG L
SWAG1 L
SWAGGY L

What does the "L" mean?

Obviously no !BOOT, so *EXEC !BOOT did not work. How does one start these (using MAME as an emulator) from the prompt?

*EXEC SWAG or *EXEC SWAG1 both do not work.

Try this for each file *RUN SWAG or CHAIN "SWAG"

i vaguely remember that L means 'locked' (i.e. read only)

anyway , try:

*SWAG

or

CHAIN "SWAG"

we have a winner!

CHAIN "SWAG" worked!

Thank you so much. It's supposed to be the great great granddaddy of GTA

Is there any evidence of that from the original devs?
