I had same idea in mind. Can you explain a bit this bitmap cludge'ing.
I had some problems with it. What exactly does this cludgebitmap
command want? Addres of a bitmap itself or the whole bitmap object
structure? Must I create my own bitmap struct by hand?? Hmm..yes
here comes my other question. Someone explained once this but I lost
this msg so here it comes. How can I create blitz objects without
useing blitz commands to allocate them. For example I think it's not
wise to oad 10 samples one by one into memory. Instead I thought I
link all samples into one piece, alloc some chip and load linked
samples into it. Here's the problem - how I suppose to tell blitz that
I have sound object #1 starting from addr x, sound #2 startting from
