I guess some header info got translated as well, so conversion should start at +5x256 -32 pixels, in bytes for the Tiff.

That's what I'd assumed - but then I'd also assumed that the four values in the SELECT loop towards the end of the main procedure had been chosen to account for that.

I was wondering what was going on with those. I could see they were acting on the file (SCROLL #3 and PAN #3), but how that was made to work is well beyond me.

And to think that POKE_L 167722,base was considered "The Wild West"...
