Gray Library (gray.h)

The gray library is based on advanced IRQ handlers which quickly swap two display memory pages, thus it is subject to many limitations:

* In many cases the screen flickers (expecially on the ZX81)
* Keeping two pictures costs a lot of memory 
* It heavily slows down the CPU and makes it work continously, thus disabling the "power saving" tricks and sucking up batteries on the TI calculators
* Accessing to two display pages slows down the applications comparing to the "default" B/W graphics.

Notes

Recent changes integrate che gray functions in the core library file, so the following files will soon disappear:

cpcgray.lib
tigray82.lib
tigray83.lib
tigray83p.lib
tigray85.lib
tigray86.lib
