 NT> 1.  It must be posted by 18th December 1997 so everyone can look at
 NT> your masterpiece.
 NT> 2.  The target system is either colour text or CGA.
    I obviously missed this when I read it, any way here's some  SCREEN
12 VGA code, I'm too tired to recode the thing now.
 NT> 3.  Keep it small.
