-------------------
The version which came over the net is a little weird. It works with my
new roms, but not with the original US (11/85) roms. Examining its lookup
table, it was hardwired for some rom version in 1/86 (if I recollect).

I have taken that version, and the original source code, to hack together
an edition of STARTGEM which functions with the "old" (11/85) and "blit"
(4/22/87) U.S.A. rom set. It is uuencoded below; try it. I have tested it
on both types of ST's myself.
