	As a developer, I've received two documents about the blitter,
one about "programming" it, and the other is a general purpose document
describing the chip and how it works.  I'm not sure of the legality of
posting these, but if Allan Pratt or Roy Good (people at Atari, in any
case) do not object, then I'll go ahead and post them.  I'm afraid I
would not have the time to email them to individual people, though,
unless the demand was very low.
