    I'm afraid I missed your reply.  We just recovered here form some kind of
news blackout that lasted over a week.  Anyway I did find your last posting
very useful and full of many good ideas.  I agree that we need to stick to one
file standard.  I say lets fully surport Spectrum.  I'm working on some 
animation software and really need the colors and a good paint program to back
me up.  The one minor problem I have with Spectrum is the lose of the first
line, I was planning on using a 16 color top line.  I guess it is a very minor
point, so I think I will give up on it.  I do like your idea of switching
resolutions on the fly and will put some thought to it.  

    I will post my version of the code written in Lattice C in a few weeks. I
still have some kinks, but am planning to add plotting routines so that it will
be more useful to people.  Perhaps others will enchance it even more.  Your
help is really useful to me.  Now not only will I have some great animation
software, I have a great paint program to back it up.  My hat is off to 
Darek, he has done us a great service.
