You guessed it.  I now have have two glove support in the loosest of
sense.  The code is VERY buggy yet as I just patched it up to run, so I will 
spend the next few days cleaning it up.  It is truly a mess.  It sort of
resembles and multitasking operating system, since I save and restore all
variables.  Oh, well.  I thought I would let all you people know that two
glove support is  reality.  The system seems to be giving me 26 frames a
second for both gloves, but I seriously doubt that.  I would imagine 15-
20 frames a second tops.  But I will experiment.  Now I REALLY need
3 O-scopes.  Maybe I can snarf some from work.  Oh, I need some big help
on this debugging.  Dan Shimizu has already said he would help with
the program.  Anyone else with the old code that wants to put some hours in 
on the new stuff?  Anyone made a board and want to try it out?  I will re
post the disclaimer form tomorrow, so put it in the mail.  

Man, programming drains me.  Now I know why I wanted to be a Computer
Engineer.  Little programming  (but then I found out about micro
programming, so I can't win).

Off to clean up some terrible looking code....
