James I dont think you get the point, we know the problem does exsist, no matter what LW or DPS does, and while it seems that everyone has become a programmer, the way our code works, is not so easy and as some have said TRIVAL to change, if it were we would have already done so. There is as I said before, a simple stop gap measure that you should employ, render the pics and dont ask Imagine to address the PAR, simply copy the images over to the PAR after you have amassed a few hundred or so. It works for me until the programmer persons take up the challenge. As for not needing Amiga users, I would like to remind you and DPS that we have supported the Amiga data base in the face of others moving to platforms and dropping the Amiga entirely. I find this kind of comment totally absurd, DPS has never even tried to deal with the problem. The fact of the matter is this, we have many more users of Imagine than does DPS have of the PAR. It is simple and cost effective for them to address the problem, with a few exceptions you are the only person who is still beating this thing beyond resonable limits. We will fix the problem, now I suppose you think it makes good sense to send every Amiga user and PC user a new copy even if they dont have a PAR board. This makes no sense and is far beyond our financial capability. I would like you also to know that until last year, after 12 calls to DPS and 3 letters, I was promised a PAR card, it never came, we could have addressed the problem a long time ago, but someone, at DPS thought the effort to get us a board was not worth it. I guess its easy to blame Impulse for the problem, when out of ignorance of the product we have done what we have done. It took a call to the VP in Kentucky to get a board, and that was a board that we paid for, one that I must add we only wanted for a few days to get things straight. As you might know, we have a Non-Linear editing and animation system that far exceeds the abilities of the PAR, the product was sold to Sanyo Electric Corporation of Japan. It will be available in Jan of 95 from Sanyo, and it has none of these problems. I dont suggest that you buy one, but I there is indeed two sides to every story, possibly you know have a better insight in to our side. We will fix your problem with the PAR and as well will try and figure a cost effective way of getting the fix to those who need it. Until then, try my way of making the images and storing them to dh0 or wherever you have some space, copy them over, and it all seems to work just fine. Mike
