Symbolic!

Ha. I thought that would elicit a response from that quarter.

JSW CK (one of JSWED's Spectrum-based competitors, written by Andrew
Broad) used to zero out all the data when clearing a room, thus
creating eight instances of Guardian Class 0. Then Andrew tweaked it
so that it sets Offset 240 to the value 255 initially, thus creating
an empty guardian-instance list.

That is the same fix I have now made to JSWED, allowing for the
different guardian storage mechanism in JSW64.

I suspect it will be a long time
before he karies out the improvements

Dental karies?

As for the other bug (a 'stutter' when populating the sprite list) I
think it's a compiler funny, because it only ever happens in the
Windows version, and it tends to go away if I shuffle the code about.
