   Please send it to me too!

  I am an Assault freak.  I have spent much time
playing the thing wondering how the heck that rotation is done.
My best guess right now is that since hardware line drawing seems
a simple enough task one would use similar hardware to (instead
of deposit values into the pixels in memory) actually scan the
display memory along the "drawn" line rather than the normal
orthogonal scan.

  Thanks!
