         | Thanks! PNG import is mainly intended for pulling PETSCII
         | content into Petmate from running .prg files in VICE. The pixel
         | data and image dimensions need to match exactly for the import
         | to succeed. I try to explain it in the docs but the feature
         | just kinda doesn't do what most people expect it to.

       | Another PETSCII editor to be aware of is David Murray's. (i.e.
       | "The 8-Bit Guy" on YouTube) It's a modern native editor, running
       | on the C64 and PET.[1] Apparently there's also a version for his
       | in-the-works Commander X16 "dream computer".[2]

       | FWIW the macOS binary hasn't been notarized.

         | Petmate author here. Doesn't notarization require an Apple
         | Developer ID? Out of principle, I don't want to pay Apple 100
         | USD a year just to build my free app.
