- I have no information on displaying sprites, but I do know that the registered
- version of PCQ (version 1.2d) gives you the ability to controll where a
- variable or an array is loacted (CHIP or FAST). If that's your problem try
- geting the registered version. If you do DON'T send to the Arazona address,
- I have his current address if you want it.
