Subject: MODE 7 still not quite right

I am not sure as I have not got a real BEEB in front of me now, but I just
loaded Granny's Garden to test the hold/release graphics in MODE 7. It looks
MUCH better than it was, congrats :) but still looks a bit off. (Just play
as normal without passwords till you get to the woodcutter's house - F I G)

I believe the problem is that on the original BEEB, if hold graphics is
already on, then the release code will be held i.e. the release code affects
characters after but not including itself on the same line. (Of course, if
hold graphics is not on, the release code will not be held, but that's
obvious.) It seems it has been written so that the release code is not held.

Sorry to be picky but I think it's important for someone to bring it up!
Keep up the great work.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Matt
