MacOS.  I'm seeing the top pixels cut off a bit in 41_rc3, e.g.

Yeah, just a wee bit.

The BE Dutch AZERTY keyboard has the "." mapped to a "." on the numpad, while the BE French AZERTY keyboard maps the "." to a comma "," on the numpad !!!

Don't know who invented this, but it is really annoying if the numpad shows a "." but generates a "," when typed. I use the BE Dutch AZERTY keyboard all the time. We have 3 official languages in our country.

Please include the BE Dutch AZERTY keyboard in the ROM. These keyboards are not the same, unfortunately.

Ok - just recompile the release and set it to be a nine bit system. An extra wee bit should resolve the issue. ? Consider it a parity bit!

Jokes aside, I'm encouraged by 3 new emulator versions released in the last little while. Hopefully others are encouraged to take on items that would make a shipping X16 possible. Thanks to those who are moving the project forward!

PS - I've not gone to the new emulator as of yet because of other pressing computer issues. ? I hope to get at it soon.

LOL you had me going there until after the nine bit system.  Regardless, I'm not worried.
