Keywords: Need help with BOB colisions

Hi all,

I am trying to write an arcade type game (beserk) but cannot figure
out how to register BOB to background colisions (like walls, debris, etc).
I have no problem getting BOB to BOB or BOB to border crashes -- so
am I missing something obvious?  
I have also thought about using VSPRITES but the problem of more than
8 per line will inevitably happen in this game and the BOBs are wider than
16 pixels ...

while i'm at it ...

Does anyone know the author of a little demo called LENS? (enlarged a portion
of the screen under the pointer) I would love to get ahold of the source 
to see how the area is blown up so quickly, it is needed for a BOB/Image
editor I am working on (BobED v2.0) as my algorithm is pretty slugish.
While on the subject of BobED, would anyone find a use for a BOB/Image
editor (PD, of course), or do you all just use DPaint and one of the
utilities to get the image into code ?? 

Thanks,
