That'd eat a bit more RAM up to, of course. Probably slows you down even more, 'cause ya get more HBLANKs to process, eh? Sounds interesting though - how liberal is this magazine's reproduction policy? Could this article be posted to the net in some form? -- -=- PrayerMail: Send 100Mbits to holyghost@father.son[127.0.0.1] and You Too can have a Personal Electronic Relationship with God!
