Hello,
Yet another question from a friend that does not have access here:

    Using the blitter in line mode, I have problems with diagonal lines.
    The start point of the line is always shifted vertically by two pixels,
    upwards or downwards, depending on the increment/decrement mode.
    Do you have a hint on which register is badly programmed ?

    PS: I used the notes of the European Devcon (article by Tomas Rokicki)
    and the hardware manual. It seems that there is a typo in the Devcon
    notes, page 13, line 2.
    blit.cpt=blit.dpt=m + ((x1>>3) & ~1) + y * (wx >> 3)
                                          ^^^
                                         Use wy instead of y

Thanks to anybody that can give a hint !
