Please send me email offline if you want the sources from Jack. BTW: his
16-bit integer trig routines are still a tour-de-force of integer
operations. Looking at the assembler sources to Moonlander just to learn
how he did that is. Jack said he spent a day in the MIT library working it
all out, went home that night, and coded it all up.
FYI: I'm also still in almost daily contact with Jack who still hacking on
graphics systems (and his joke mailing list is a who-who of the industry).
[I've tried for years to get him to join this list, but I have never been
successful.]
