Hello again!
I have a small (?) problem. I'm plotting 100 points in mode 13h and
rotating them in increments of 1 degree. It works, only the rotating
pixels get smaller and smaller until it becomes a little dot on the
screen. What am I doing wrong? :) I'm figuring it's due to the
rounding error...or am I wrong? It seemed to work fine when i was
rotating a triangle with the line() function. *Shrug* Here is the
code..thank you in advance for any help!

The fountains mingle with the river,
   And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix for ever
   With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
   All things, by a law divine,
In one another's being mingle--
  Why not I with thine?
