My guess woulkd be to make sure the background had a smiliar/same grey as the bird, in it's pallette.

Alpha Micros have special circutry to reverse the byte order in RAM, so that the 68000 uses the PDP 11 format instead of the 68000 format. Not simple to port to a normal 68000 computer. Alpha Micro is fighting a hostle takeover attempt after a bad year. Not a bad…

I guess you will have to do a permit before exit. I don't use Forbid() except in CloseWindowSafely() which is a public domain function to close windows in a multiple window/single message port enviroment. I don't do anything upon exit except close all my windows, close the screen, free the…

Draw works with all the graphics printers that the Amiga Uses (The good news) . However the printouts are of the same quality as a paint system … i.e. Not Too neat…. However we support scaled plots on almost any plotter you can imangine. A 4 pen Epson plotter (8.5"…

You should call in and request the update. We could do background printing if we had enough memory to make a copy of the Bitmap. DumpRastPort needs an undisturbed bitmap.

The latest version of Images has a option to change the size of the printout Call us for details.

We have not seen a piracy problem with our Amiga software. What is the packaging and documantation like on this software? I haven't seen the program so I'm not familiar with it.

HP ColorPro Plotter
Message #23390
A Null string part should be acceptible since I use the strcmp function to "bind" the parts during load … Another way to get the rounded corners whould be to create a diamond shaped polygon with smoothing. We don't have a type for the Mac rounded rectangle … but if…
Great … a second bug (the first was 2 point smoothed line!). I'll get this into next release ASAP (it's an obvoious divide by zero bug)… Seriously … lets HUNT those bugs down … 2 months of testing sure didn't catch everything …. Just turn smoothing on and draw a…
