WARNING!  EGAD uses the ReportMouse() function.  To get EGAD to work
at all you must call ReportMouse() like so:

ReportMouse(Window,Boolean);	/* Manx */
ReportMouse(Boolean,Window);	/* Lattice */
ReportMouse(Window,Boolean);	;Assembler
	    d0     a0		;

Do it with some #ifdefs.

THIS GOES FOR ANY PROGRAM THAT USES ReportMouse()!!!


Remember that Crunch is a fantastic coder, but one who who has been
characterized in print as the master of Kludge code.  The story
goes that he is the type that would take a program that  
that was to add 4 and 2, but got the answer 5,  and fix it by adding
1 to the returned result.
(-: Maybe he wrote MoveSprite() :-)

He recently wrote something on the same lines as EGAD (but much better) 
for the Macintosh.

If you care about what you are doing, and are not up to sweet-talking
EGAD, get PowerWindows 2.0.
