I think I hurt Mike's feelings... sorry Mike. Not putting down your coding, just saying that the file format is inefficient. It worked great though for getting a picture on the screen, which is much more impressive than silly circles and lines ;-) Thanks for converting them. I'm sure when you get your HSG board working we'll see some much more impressive demos!
 
I am writing a two-pass symbolic disassembler for my CBMXfer, so will hopefully be able to disassemble and comment the code if anyone else is interested.
