Yes, I shall give an offset into the code so it can included in a compiled job
(ie. so just BASIC keywords are installed and not a Thing).
On the topic of browsers one thing I would like to bring up for discussion is:
What would be useful is an agreed standard header for a multi frame PIC file
format. Like animated GIF's there would be an initial frame followed by smaller
frames with offset co-ords into first frame and timeout. I could then output
animated GIF files as PIC from photon instead of just the first frame. It would
then be possible to write a animated PIC -> GIF convertor (according to GIF
terms as long as no charge is made for the program it is OK).
It would also be useful to have similar standard for internal animated PIC save
areas, all in a linked list (separate list for each job). This could allow a
child job to be launched to deal with animation for that job.
Open to suggestions/brickbats.

Dave.
