Screen doesn't update on netbook after FILEREQUEST$

[Cliff3D]

The extra SHOWSCREEN is a workaround for now that seems to work well enough. It's more the situation, in that it gives rise to wonder what other wonderful surprises awiait me. Oh, I've been gone from programming for too long!

Aside from the fact that platforms differ from each other (assuming you aren't just sticking with Windows), and thus nothing can be assumed with the regards to file paths - that also actually applies to Windows too - there shouldn't be any further surprises...

As I've mentioned before, dont use JPEG's; make sure a smalfont.png file is in with your executable (otherwise any text you see will be hard to read); put in as much error checking as possible and you'll be fine

I can avoid JPEG files in initial test environment, but not indefinately

I need to read up on error handling in GLB before I can make anything trult "sturdy".

Hopefully Gernot can start looking at JPEG stuff soon-ish, now that V8 has been released...
