Miscellaneous ****************************************************************
If this type of memory resident accessory were written in VB or C++, it
will become very large and slow. It is best if it is written in C (with some
assembly).
I'm apologize for the sorry looking icon. I wanted it so that you will be
able to know that it is a LHA icon with just one look, but...
If you are able to change it, please do so.
