Perhaps a good solution would be for both Sequential and RezTek to
work with Mike Westerfield on a common library for the ORCA language
series. Granted, a common library would have to aim for the lowest
practical common denominator between the two boards but at least this
would give programmers an easier _SINGLE_ API for the two boards.
Perhaps a common 640 x 400 library would be nice since both boards
can handle this AND a IIgs monitor can be stretched to handle this
as well (via interlace).

Just some thoughts!
