| Hi there,

Changing the y will to 209 from 180 help the problem a bit.
After having scanned and printed for hours, I'm not sure what the correct
value should be, I might simply be fooled by the printout scaling....
Anyway, changing the value from 180 to 209 will make the dark line at the
top go away.

static DCapsDef Cap0x03F0_0x0605 =
{
	{{ 0, 209 },  /* OK */

Thanks.
Jesper.
