You can't resign. You were fired! :)

Here is the sort of in the subject line..

CopyDeepMask is exactly like CopyBits, except it has extra parameters for
the Mask world, and Mask Rect.

CopyMask is like CopyDeepMask, except parameters for the transfer modes and
region clip items are deleted.

Copybits Normal:

Source World --> Destination World. (Adjust transfer mode or clip to a region)

CopyDeepMask/CopyMask:

Source World + Mask World --> Destination World.

Mask is a filter for what gets copied in this case. Black allows the source
to pass through, white does not. Gray blends source and destination.

Or other, depending on transfer mode.

Thief. Little known to you, the starting letters of each FN when taken in
whole by the compiler will render it useless on your machine.

I am subtle like that. You must beware.

Well, actually, it was there on purpose, since the missing step was
supposed to be in the demo.

I guess at the cusp of 4am I forgot to add it.

I am never wrong. I thought I was once, but I was mistaken.

I forgot about that. Anyway, since you were questioning the function and
terminology of the great Oz, you still deserved a firing.

Darn, those are good. :)

(Don't mention that beta list thing, I am still smarting over that. :)
That was your fault too.)
