Subyte() isn't called in very many places, so it is possible that it has been broken for a while and no one would have ever really noticed. Could someone go double check me on this and make sure I'm not hallucinating about this? -- Mike Pritchard mpp@mpp.minn.net "Go that way. Really fast. If something gets in your way, turn"
