Right now my focus is on the loader. If you say the magic words (something like "I'm willing to work on syscons once I'm done with the loader"), I'll have your application in core@'s inbox in a New York minute :) > In fact my PCX decoder supports that; runs crossing planes (standard) > as well as runs crossing scan line boundaries (non-standard).

Hmm, the spec calls for padding each scan line to the nearest multiple of 16 bits IIRC, but it's been a long time. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
