Hi Mark,

MO> Well then!  Hand it over!  

Ok!  Dave doesn't seem to have any objections.  It should be in this
packet to All.

MO> I'll gladly see if I can crash it.  If it works here it'll work

I tried it on a friend's A1200 the other day.  It was Ok on non-AGA
screens, but it didn't seem to do anything on his 256 colour
Workbench screen.  :(

MS> I didn't get any replies to my Workbench 3 ROM kernel question

MO> There's info on the Workbench 3 ROM?  I didn't know it had been

Well, *somebody* has to know how to do graphics on AGA machines,
don't they?  :) I found some info in the E docs, but not enough.  I
can't use trial & error when I don't have an AGA machine to test on.

I've heard that new Developer's CD-ROM is out, which should be very
interesting.  Apparently, Viscorp plan to be very free with
Developer's information.

MO> Sounds good to me.

Let's hope that it sounds good to Dave & several strategically
located sysops. :)

Urm, that's what WinIFF [Michael's new proggy] does!  :)

MO> I found just such a program in comm/fido called Thumbmail.

MO> I'm looking forward to all of this coming together.

Ditto!  Why should Internet have all the fun.  :)

MO> Now if I could only find those photos I conveniently lost.  ;)

Yeah!
