...uh, guys, the range of values in the original source code for line 
offset is supposed to only be -127 to 127 ;-)  Do ya really think we 
need to go all the way to +/-10000?

...cool, I'd totally forgotten about this after getting pix_halftone 
working...

...yeh, I think we're really getting close!  But, I've got a question:
