Correct!  I missed that.  I'll modify it and fix the package
tonight.

;)  And I don't know why, but the composite color thing is really
boring a hole in my brain.  I really want to be able to make clear
16-color GIFs of composite CGA screens.  

Hey, what's the best way for me to contribute code to the project?
My asm is too rusty to be worth anything, but if I came up with two
pascal routines (with as much inline assembler as I can muster) that
dump and restore EGA screens, can i give it to someone to
incorporate into the code?  EGA dumping and restoring (for going
into and out of chooser and screenshots) is already working on my
hard ddrive.
