Eek -- I already did that?  Uh, cool :-)  I completely forgot.

Cool!  I'm not sure I provided GIF-saving code, but if you can dump it, I can
write an EGA2GIF like I did with CGA2GIF.

One thing to note is that VGA can read all the video registers as well as
write them, but on a true EGA you can only write them (reading results
unpredictable behavior).  But we're probably not worried about running Flopper
on machines with true EGA, so just forget I even wrote this.
