I've just updated GIFMachine to grab the DisplayInfo stuff under 2.0.  I'm
using HAMLACE_KEY and HAM_KEY as the type possible modeids that might get
stuffed into the ILBM.  I looked at what it stored in the BMHD for these and
they are definately not the values that the old EA iff/ILBM.h code had.  For
example, for HAMLACE_KEY it now stores x=$2C, y=$1A whereas the EA #defines
had x=$14, y=$0B.  Are these new values really correct, or is my
GetDisplayInfoData() call returning garbage?  You did mention that it had
updated values for old modes, but I just want to make sure...

Thanks,
