 They should be the source position ans the target position for the call in
case you don't want to do the complete bitmap or the target window is bigger
than it - obviously neither of these is true for your application, so I
think you've simply written 0 and are happy with it.

 However, the block stuff doesn't work for other displays than 'packed pixel'
(see how I've changed cpyrgt.c) so I may change this in future. Since I
haven't done a good deal for compatibility with previous versions this may
bring problems. Be warned about that.

 If you want an initial reason for the existance of W - that's it! :)

 I've been reported this already, but we haven't yet figured out what's
happening there.

 Then wait for the next version (no promising date). :)
