Its not actually complicated. I can explain it if you like ;oP

If you need rotation, you should get a Ellipse routine, not circle.

Ok, Ill code them up for you later. The "Michener" looks like just
a copy of the bresnhams ones. The OS and AMOS and everything use the
origional bresnham ones cos they rock :)
