Yeah! When you try to learn assembler you look at other peoples sources (assembler) and see
how things are done. Well, that's how I did it anyway. And EVERY source I got my hands on
was NASTY to the system... (Writing to registers directly and so on) But if someone took
the time to do the things described above - send me a copy of the source and the world will
have another programmer that writes system OS-friendly Amiga code.
