	I've been doing 2D stuff with the yaroze for quite a while
now, and have recently noticed something wrong with the display of 2d
tiles or sprites.  Occasionally I get a "banding" effect that blurs
just one vertical line of the tile or sprite, and the load to the main
memory is fine b/c I went as far as to look at the byte values of the
tim in there.  It seems like the LoadImage() function is transferring
the data into video memory wrong, or the actual hardware is blitting
to the screen wrong.  I haven't checked the data in the video mem yet,
but that's what i plan to do next.  If you'd like to see a screen shot
of this problem and think you can help, let me know and I'll send you
an attachment.
