BTW, I just had a look at the Windows front-end code, to find that it 
would be quite easy to change it to use a prettier scaling method - all 
it would take would be to change a scaling-mode constant, and slightly 
adjust some code called whenever an SMP square has been rendered. 
However, that change would apparently break compatibility with Windows 
95/98/Me; I don't think such a minor improvement would be worth that price.
