Subject: Multitask & LW


I recently started using Rend24 V1.05 by Thomas Krehbiel which by the way
is an excellent tool to convert your LW renderings to a playable Amiga
format, compiling each frame to an anim file as it is rendered.  I was
rendering an animation and tried using the Amiga M key used for moving
through screens. I was able to go to the Workbench where Rend24 was open
and was also able to open other programs.  The only interuption on the
monitor was when LW rendered a segment to the composite output.  During Hi
resolution renderings, some frames taking up to 10 minutes even on my 030
system, I find I can use other programs quite effectively while LW is
rendering  a large project.  I guess Rend24 being linked to LW is
responsible for this ability to multitask with LW.  I have 9 megs of ram
in my system allowing me to run other programs with LW.  Anyone with Rend24
tried this before?  Any other ways to multitask with LW that you know of?
If Thomas Krehbiel can do it with Rend24 why can't NewTek design a way to
free up the rest of the Amiga to do other jobs?
