Non integer multiples are probably not going to be useful (or considered) since all of that gets significantly more complicated (possibly ambiguous) with mouse tracking and pixel content scaling. > > Meanwhile, the latest code now displays a useful failure message > > rather than any SEGFAULT when the conditions you created happen. > > - Mark > Thank you .

This fix is for the next person who ties themselves in a similar knot and hopefully will avoid leading them astray. - Mark _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
