It just occurred to me, is there a Gloucester show planned for this April?
And has anyone started making arrangements for the November birthday?

Allan,
There a small bug in the X version of SimCoupe that gives the wrong colours
on the main screen in modes 1+2 when used on 16+32bpp displays - the default
ink colour in modes 1+2 is dislayed as dark blue instead of dull white. The
i_pix and p_pix values are 8 bit, but are assigned 16-and 32-b

but doesn't the sam rom make the 'assumption' that the pixels are square,

Well, if it's that much of a problem, replace JPG with PICT and you'll get
the original, non-lossily compressed image

Well I think they're progressive jpeg's which earlier versions of XV
*may* not understand, but recent

One question that's been bugging me (but only a bit) - why are all the

Actually, the algorithm is closer to this:

pretendToWork();
}
doWork();
}
