- Just a quick question:
-
- What exactly does InitBitmap() do ??
-
- I simply allocate the correct amount of chipmem using AllocMem,calculate the
- bitplane addresses then bung them into a BitMap structure.
-
- Then I open an intuition screen with a custom bitmap. Is there anything
- "wrong" with this method ? Is this liable to fail in a future OS ?
