There probably is a putsprite function in the ROM  (BASIC function: RestorePic
or something like that.)  Of course, it's designed to read the TI format
sprites.  However, I agree that huffman isn't in the ROM.  It would be nice
for the next version of huffman to have a compression function, not only
decompression.
