RE: Cinemenu results...

G'day,

Cool! Glad you emailed this to everyone...I for one like to hear how
these projects are progressing!

As odd as my opinion might seem, Paul's made good progress. The
experimental program that he had me run about three years ago just made
sweeping curved lines across the monitor. But I suspect that was
because Paul's earlier code didn't control the line length with the line
counter and as such you got the full line...not small straight sections
of the curve.

Obviously since you are seeing letters, he's got control of line length.
 Nice work, Paul (and Clay)!

ps - I gotta get a Cine cabinet (besides Boxing Bugs) out of storage.
