Bad form, I know, replying to my own post (member number 3, you'd think I'd know
better :-P), but if you get display anamolies with this app, you might want to
try upgrading your OpenGL drivers (standard stuff). I have two machines, both
ATI, one runs this thing perfectly, the other displays lines that just go
haywire (yet it never seems to crash).
Again, no warranty, use at own risk, etc.; but hopefully it will do the job for
most who try it.
