Hi all,
I made a quick "parallax" scrolling demo... Well not exactly parallax 
scrolling since while the two planes move at different speeds they also 
move opposite one another.

It is for mode 32 but will work with mode 33 if provided with a suitable 
scr file. (I can do that)
Anyone interested to try it for Mode 33?

The flickering/frame shearing in Mode 32 is practically unnoticeable but I 
would like to test how it looks on a q40/60

The zip file contains the source code and a Turbo 4.14 compiled executable

For anyone that wants it, note that the bottom scrolling plane effect (the 
ground) uses TurboTKs PEEK$ and POKE$ while the top (sky and clouds) uses 
MEMORY_MOVE

P.S. One of the funniest effects happens if you execute it with EX instead 
of EW and then start switching windows/jobs... EVERYTHING becomes a mess! 
Niceeee :-)

I don't know why but Turbo up to v. 4.11 didn't allow stopping execution 
with CTRL-SPC (Turbo 4.14 does return you to S*Basic with an Incomplete but 
the task keeps on running happily :-) (I don't know if it's a bug or 
feature but I like it :-)
