Some methods have changed names and I'm not sure about the BilBlt combinations rules used.

Best,
Karl

Have you never seen the BitBLT based version Dan Ingalls wrote a gazillion years ago? It used to be in the Squeak image, or at least I feel pretty sure it was.

Oh, wait! It was written up in the Byte81 issue, so see https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1981-08/page/n181/mode/2up?view=theater and the following pages.
