I have an unsupported video card. Is there a way to run Animator under windows at higher than 320×200 by letting Windows handle the video.

Only the Windows player is affected by Windows drivers, this won't help AAPro. You can check to see if there are VESA drivers for your card. AAPro will recognize a VESA card. There is a company, Panacea, which has uploaded a demo version of their Turbo DLD driver, called TRBDEM.EXE: "This archive contains Panacea's TurboDLDDemo, a FreeWare ADI 4.2 display and rendering driver for AutoCAD R12, 11, 10/386, AutoShade 2 w/RenderMan, and 3D Studio. This driver fully supports all major graphics boards at all resolutions, and, for 20 minutes a day, allows you to sample display list processing and advanced features (bird's eye, spyglass, etc.). You must install this software with the included INSTALL program. See READ.ME and TURBODLD.DOC for features. . .(Approximate download time at 2400 bps using CIS B: 18:30)" Check with Panacea (Londonderry New Hampshire) or Vibrant Graphics (Austin Texas) in case they have a driver for your card.

Nik, Will AAPro run under OS/2 2.1?

Ed, Someone in Product Support has tried OS 2 2.0 with the Service Pack update, and had no problems running it. This was a test to help out a customer who couldn't get it to run. I gave the information to the customer (this was recently) but haven't heard more. As far as our official policy: we haven't tested it, but if OS/2 is as compatible as it is supposed to be, sure! In Product Support, we're sympathetic to helping folks on non-supported platforms, but would have to report any "bugs" as "wishlist items". Nik
