Hmm, OK. SP1.5 comes with a 32 bit wrapper for them.. I was hoping they
were considering a native one because thunking to 16 bit eats up a bit of
time..

Hmm, I'll fire that up then..

Well..  PolyEx is writing a toolkit for graphics, Which uses FSVIO graphics...
Dunno if it will support over 320/200 yet..
