Day 933

Did a lot of programming, got the QB ephemeris working well with the planet glyphs. Works much better than positioning text characters on a coarse grid. Still the aspect ratio problem between EGA and VGA, rather harder to overcome unless you like oval EGA charts. But my patent colour/mono detector works well.

Improved the D&D combat resolver too, but some really intractable problems with it, unfortunately.

Did a lot of Latin, finished the Ch.22 exercises.

Just heard something very funny on R5, the dole as modern version of National Service with the young 'sitting round dunking Hob-Nobs in weak tea and watching The Young Doctors for two or three years until they sit up and think, Time to write that novel.' Great R4 play earlier in the evening, Distance Between The Stars - almost in the Just Fourteen league.
