Q1: can anyone point me to a good ST timeclock?
Q2:
HELP!

	I can't seem to get a bitmap from the screen to be either BLITTED
or RASTER copied to my own buffer!  (1040ST no blitter)

	I'm trying to make a requestor like device, however I would like
it to restore the screen background after it closes.  I want to blit or copy
the raster area behind the image into temp space and then restore the
background when I close the image.

	I've used (linea) RASTER COPY with the source form set to all zeros
and I keep getting (2) bombs.  I've used BLIT with the addresses of both
physbase and logbase and I get three bombs (address error?).  I'm trying
to store the image to memory pointer received from lmalloc.

	DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINEA EXAMPLE THAT BLITS or COPY's 2 BITBLANES
DEEP FROM THE SCREEN?????!!!

all help greatly appreciated.
