You could probably try and look inside the image with TIImagetool and see if it will let you look at the source file. Alternatively, you could put the source file in an image by itself and post that image here.

Nice, that worked! Code is below. I think in the commercial version, someone rewrote the drawing code in assembler, because it was too slow in BASIC. I guess I was 14 when I wrote this.

Check out my sweet call-out to the Houston BBS, now at 1200 baud!
