[comp.sys.handhelds] Super Chip v1.1 Bug, Serious

I just d/l v1.1 and ran Joust v2.0.  (no checksum on super chip asc encode)
Almost all collision checking was gone.

In the earlier versions of chip and super chip, VF=1 for collision.
My program, Joust2, depends on this.

However, according to the text with Super Chip v1.1: collision -> VF<>0
otherwise zero.  Before it was either 0 or 1.

For now I suggest using Super Chip v1.0 for Joust2

God, I just posted Joust2 and its already obsolete!
