       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.)
