	Looking through my personal mail archives, I posted it on 12/8/2000.
If
	there's interest, I'll re-post it here, otherwise I'll email it
direct to
	you.

	I wrote the code a long time ago -- probably when I was 16 or 17, so
around
	1983 or 84, and don't have a clue why some of it does what it does
any more.
	In particular, one part appears to be using the MODE 7 screen memory
for
	temporary storage.

	(Come to think of it, since someone mentioned the Hobbit the other
day,
	I believe I used the MODE 7 screen memory as temporary storage when
I
	converted that from tape to disk, too.)
