I assume it saves to a file, right? I didn't know about this in svgalib.
If it saves to a file, I assume I could copy the saved from another machine
and load it on the one that's not working. Same video hw and mobo. I
really don't care if it crashes trying this (just prefer it not, but either
way I'd have to reboot)
