#EGS Problem
3 messages in this thread
Thanks for the info. It sounds good, but I'm wondering about how well the
menus function under WB2.1. I found it sluggish for anything over 16 colors
under EGS. GVP sez it's WBench's problem and to keep WB colors to 16 or less
for snappy menus. So unless it's more stable than EGS and is more compliant
with WB/Intu interface for applications, it may not be for me. Not quite ready
($$$) for WB3.1 yet. Again, I really appreciate the info!

Keith,
I have an EGS board in both a 2000 and a 3000. 256 color WB on the 3000
is very fast. The 2000, even with the GVP acclerator, cannot use 256 colors
very comfortably. Menus are too slow, windows open a tad slower, etc.

Actually I've found EGS to be pretty fast in most cases, especially if you
use some of the PD patches available to speed it up like DTPatch and
EGS-Turbo.
Concerning CyberGraphics, it's pretty stable right now. There are a few
minor problems but I expect they will be corrected in a future release. As
far as compatability with other software, well I believe CyberGraphics is
better than EGS in this category. The only problem with CyberGFX is if you
have a bunch of EGS applications that you would like to run such as
TVPaint, EGSPhotoAlbum, etc. If you are not using any specialized EGS
software then you don't need to worry.
