RE: Creating maps for scrolling............

["Paul Robson" <probson@powerup.com.au>]

You could always do it manually with your favourite paint program (eg paint
shop pro).  Just figure out how big the final image will be, make a new one,
and copy and paste.  It will be a pretty big pain to do this with a mouse,
but it's possible.  Some programs can even do it automatically.
