Hardware
Assist needs at least 1MB of free memory in order to run.
Actually, it requires about 350K to load. I know, it might
sound too much for you but dont blaim me! BlitzII creates
too big executables and reserves too much memory for most
things that have to do with memory...Maybe when and if
i write the program using C++ (boring..) it wont take that
much memory. Of course, i am still waiting for BlitzII V2.1
which might have eliminated all those problems.
It needs WorkBench V2.1 or greater and it uses the extra
power provided by the 68020, 68030 and 68040 processors.
If your Amiga is equiped with the AGA chipset(A1200, A4000) then
Assist will be faster in redrawing and in any graphics operation.
Also, the more fast memory you have the faster it goes. The ideal
configuration is an Amiga 1200 with 2MB Chip and 2MB Fast(32 bit).
The program was tested on:
Amiga 1200 (2MB Chip, no Fast)     [My low profile Amiga..]
Amiga 1200 (2MB Chip, 2MB Fast)
Amiga 2000 (1 MB Chip, 5 MB Fast, WorkBench V2.2)
Amiga 4000 (2MB Chip,4 MB Fast)    [That was speed!!]

Software
Assist, besides the libraries that everyone has, needs two
fonts, RIPStd and TopazGr, both provided with it.
Without the above fonts Assist won't start.
Assist.init is not essential.
