     1.26 I released both 6809 and 6309 versions, but the 6309 version had  
a few more things in it. Both have the extended color palette set, etc.
     2.0 and 3.2 were earlier hacks, but I based my version number on Kent  
Meyers (1.24 was his last public release, and 1.25 is the code base he  
gave me to get started on). 1.25 was part of the Level II upgrade project,  
but I don't think (the version I had, anyways) directly supported the  
resizable/movable windows from the Level II upgrade. There are some demo  
programs that do (the bouncing ball demo is the one I remember).
