Come on Steve. If you are working with a 486/33 DX with an ATI Ultra card,
the video is so much faster its not funny. I have written scrolling
routines for both the Amiga and the Windows 3.X environments. I have both
machines sitting right here and if I scroll the same amount of text in the
same size windows with the Amiga having only 4 bit planes and the PC having
8, the Amiga looks like a horrible dog. By the way, the text is colored so
the speed improvements incorporated into the console device under 3.0 would
be rendered useless had I chose to use it. The central code is very
similar so code efficiency can be ruled out. One other tid bit, my
scrolling routines on the PC with work with any video card with a driver
for Windows. Don't try that on the Amiga!
