Not the floor, that is a simple black And white thing( a bozo of a checker and a
spiral), but the mirrors. They have a colour = reflection, and are all in the
"base" colours. (rgb 1,0,0) and so.

Oki, I will.

Ahh, but I kinda liked this focused, I'll give it a try and see what it looks
like.

Lessen the density?

Well, If I get the dos code I can probably use all of my memory. I have win95,
and It can only use 64mb of my 96...

oops, I think auto-stop is something... High. (like 320)

I'll try.

Hmm, wich are you pointing at ?

ok, I'll send the code :-)
