Clint, Guess who is a registered developer with access to OS 3.0 running on his A3000/25? <grin> The EGS workbench clone is a commercial piece of software which is being packaged with GVP's new Spectrum EGS board, and should be released in one form or another for other EGS style graphic boards in the near future. I would expect alot of A3000 owners to be using it to "upgrade" past the AGA capability of the A4000! One of these days, C= is very likely to release 3.x for non 1200 & 4000 owners, and I think that they MIGHT have similar problems! Good olde VP crashes right during the initiation portion when my WB is in 800x600x3 mode (with the capacity to go up to 256 colors listed in the viewmode's database). When I return my WB to native Amiga screen all is well. VP must be getting confused by looking at my WB screen and finding V39 libraries on an ECS system. I'm sure that I read about a reasonably simple method of polling a machine to detect whether it was AGA or ECS without checking the WB screen for maximum bit depth? Help! I miss my VP <g>! // ** Commodore ** \X/ -<Comment left to the reader's imagination>- -RSL-
