- As for `term' I can say that it is strictly playing by the rules. It does not
- manipulate BitMaps, it rather works on RastPorts. The only drawing operations
- are erasing via RectFill(), writing via Text() and scrolling via ScrollRaster().
- However, it uses optimized scrolling routines which determine which area to scroll
- and only move those bitplanes in the area to scroll which contain any data.
