ck, you have no future as amateur detective: there are three image
transfer routines in widgets. put_image(), xor_image and
merge_image(). put_image() is basically the same as display_image() in
image.e, except for a slightly different form of arguments and it does
not use the superfluous, silly typing.

Almost certainly yes. Blitting is always faster then pixel based
routines. Neil also gives you access to much wider selection of screen
resolutions and color depths. Neil2 (son of Neil?) was/is Pete's
attempt to make Neil usable on all three platforms, I think.

Almost.
