Usualy it's pretty easy to patch the Retina software to run without requesters on WB 3.1. However, you do get mungwall and enforcer hits under WB3.1 caused by the Retina software. Thus I can't recommend doing the patch… Regarding speed: you must run the software using the Blitter mode in order to get the very good speed results. BUT, I still wasn't able to use the Blitter software with ANY program and I'm real angry. Nobody noted the problems of the Blitter emulation and it's inability to run high resolutions wich was the main reason for me to buy the Retina III. So, you're stucked with the very slow normal emulation. A real pain… To quote comments from MacroSystem Germany: "Making the work in high resolutions is to much work.". Well? Guess what I think of it. — Wolf Faust, Am Dorfgarten 10, 60435 Frankfurt, Germany —
