OK, what is Clay up to and why is it under the "REVENGE" subject that I've
been deleting without reading? Only reason I read was that Clay and SteveO
posted and they are usually conservative on what they post :-)

Anyway Clay, if you recall testing my CineMenu program... The first and
second attempts had some bent vectors on the fisrt character of each
string. This was because I didn't wait for the "instant" beam positioning
to take place before drawing the text. The last attempt finally added
enough delay to get all the characters correct. Actually I didn't add
delay (that I remember) I think I just reordered some code that needed
to run anyway. So there's a program that makes about 1/2 screen jumps
vertically and waits very close to "just long enough" to get the beam
there on a Cinemonitor. Am I to understand that you are making an
adapter to run CineGames on Atari moitors? Fill me in and please change
the subject line to something proper.

WazzzzUuuuup?
