Hasn't anyone who uses sprites in TIM files come across the same problem I
have?

When drawing my sprites, I used color #0, which I have set to black, for
the sprite background color.  Now, when I display these sprites on the
Yaroze, the black actually comes out as a solid color instead of coming out
transparent.  This means, that when sprites overlap, you can see the
"square" drawn around the sprite.

I would like to ask the SCEE Developers (or anyone else who can help) on
how to fix this problem.  Is it something I am doing wrong?

Please help!  My games will be useless if I can't fix this!

Nelson.
