Re: A86: Re: sqrtKEY




StarChaser fixes it, yes;  but starchaser most likely is the cause of it
too.  I think that this 'feature' was indeed discovered right after
starchaser came out.  For some reason when it exits, sometimes it does
not reset a flag, I think its the one that determines if vwidth fonts
are written only to the graphscreen or not.  It's kind of annoying
because you can't control it when it is due to StarChaser, but it is
lots of fun to make that little program that does the same, and put on
someone else's.  Then tell them their calc got a lobotomy.
