If this code is "public domain" (ie; available for anyone to use) could 
you send it to the futurebasic_webring? We can then _update_ that source 
as needed if people _do_ make enhancements!

This sounds like a very useful tool for a lot of projects... _if_ the use 
of it is "easier" than FBSpriteWorld. I know that FBSW is extremely 
powerful, maybe overkill for many uses, and it frightens folks off who 
try to use it without dedicating the time to figure out how it does what 
it does. I've seen dozens of projects _started_ with FBSW that never got 
finished. <sigh>
