	So do I. That's why I'm being a responsible developer and pushing
CIN down on my TODO list until I tie up a few more loose ends such as QT
RLE, RoQ video, and the FILM demuxer. I've been spending the last few
nights trying to get RoQ video right. It's practically there.

	Actually, it's the the 24bpp one that I have ready. Now I just
need to implement 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32bpp; no problem...:) I have
already documented and posted the data formats for all 7 variants on the
CRI site. I need to get down to coding it. One thing that has been holding
me back is trying to come up with a simple, small, and elegant way to
write decoders for all 7 variants that can output to 15, 16, 24, and 32
bpp images.

	Thanks...
