run-time error still got me

Well, I couldn't find this file to remove it! Searched my entire hard 
disk with Windows NT's "Find" tool.

A rectangular non-square zoom raster? Well, I set the width and the 
height to 10 currently. I've tried not setting the ZoomFactor, as 
well as setting it to 1.

I couldn't even compile when trying to use a Raster instead! It seems 
Raster is undeclared, which is odd considering both Raster and 
ZoomRaster are declared in the same header file (gui.h)? I 
change the following lines:

id <ZoomRaster> worldRaster;
worldRaster=[ZoomRaster create: globalZone];

to

id <Raster> worldRaster;
worldRaster=[Raster create: globalZone];

is that right?
