I bought your book a couple of years ago and have used it a lot.  It has
been a GREAT help.  Unfortunately for some reason, this program does not
want to show VSprites for any reason (I checked above ones), so I 
punted and am using simple sprites now, actually they are working
out a lot better for me anyway.  Funny because i have other
64 color EHB programs using VSprites with no problems.

Thanks for a great book, it has helped me many times.
