[Coco] Is anyone using Roger's 'Jeweled' game on real CoCo hardware?

[Bob Devries]

Hi Brian,

I know that Roger and I spent considerable time on this glitch. This type of 
problem occurred on my home coco3 system also, along with jittering of the 
mouse pointer. I thought we'd fixed it, but it may be hardware dependant.

Regards, Bob Devries
