Better?  I dunno.  I've never seen anybody else's routines.  But Dave
and Neil's stuff was (and, heck, I hope is) going to be publicly available.
The Bitmap Brothers, I would expect, have a great graphics engine, but it
doesn't do me a lick of good if they won't sell it to me.  By using Game
Workbench, I got to do all the spiffy stuff the BB and Jeff Minter do, but
without the pain of writing my own library.  If that's a way to be better,
then they're better.
	(And as a side note, GW is an excellently designed system,
independant of how it runs [but, heh, that's excellent, too].  The calls
are well organized and logically laid out.  Similar commands have
similar names and take similar paramaters, overcoming one of the biggest
pitfalls of C -- how to find something in the manual and figuring out
what it does.)
