>> PMJI – I was crushed to read in InfoWorld last week (or the week before) that His Billness has decided not to converge Win95 and NT at all, where previously they were talking about a 3 year convergence. That's a bummer, as NT is *way* better than Win95…

>> I just installed a Diamond Stealth 64 2meg video card. Is there a driver for Animator Pro? I've tried the new UniVBE and it works fine, but only in 320×200 resolution. I use Animatro Pro daily as my main 2D program and usually work in 640×480. I love the…

>> had been on the market for a year – didn't support AS while the brand-new one DID.
>> version that's maybe two months newer? AS works FINE now! It had problems with the older VRAM, but not with the new VRAM Video! I'd have thought the reverse would be true…
>> I tried to associate this extension with cdk viewer but this extension is already assigned to the W95 paint program. Do I have to remove the old association?
>> I noticed they didn't take any chance with Animator Studio. They make sure a file containing the data for a "cel" exists. You can't just create an animation and use it for cloning, or as a sprite. You have to place it in a file first! > upload. To…
