Re: retrosoftware svn...... completely dead

Nice, thanks neozeed. : ) It's the least I can do in these 'dark' times... I'm sure the main repository will be up soon enough. Now I kind of regret not doing a full pull at some point beforehand. Or worse I deleted all the build versions I'd downloaded a day before the server went offline. :x :oops:

This appears to be a case of Windows programming some weird register to specify the SVGA display height that PCem doesn't take into account.
