Well, that's the code I was referring to above when I said, "I looked
and couldn't find anything I could use, other than some ideas."  A lot
of it I simply couldn't make any sense out of -- at least not in less
time than it took to write what I needed from scratch.

There _is_ a little overlap, but I wonder if makes sense logistically
to have shared code, because of the fact that few people have
knowledge, interest, and test facilities for both Teletext and NTSC
CC.  I don't.  Maybe it's better to be able to work on one without
working on the other.
