Correction: rule 41 code in the BitBltPlugin is not mine. :) I just took an effort to integrate already existing work made by other(s). I had to change the methods in order to replace _ with := for assignments and also use annotations <..foo.. > instead of 'self foo:..' that's why those methods stamped by my name. But i didn't changed any semantics, just made sure it works. > > On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 10:55 PM, Eliot Miranda <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> Hi All, >> please find new VMs in >> http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2485/.
