Hi All,

     Just a short bit on using Forge with a Retina. I have found that the only
way I can satisfactorily view Forge in AGA Mode (ie 256 color) is to run it
under RetinaEMU with Extended Colors selected in the Retina program setup, and
with AA emulation OFF. Sound wierd? With AA emulation on I was getting a
rainbow of colors that had nothing to do with the colors selected for the 
textures, but with AA emulation OFF and exteded colors selected, I could run
Forge in 8bit mode with no problems at all (Very nice display!!).

     The Arexx scripts for displaying to 24bit cards can be easily modified to
run the IFF buffer to the Retina. I used the Piccasso Arexx prog, modified to
call RetinaDisplay, instead of the program that it is set up to call. Works
great.

     Thats it, If anyone has any questions, drop me an E-line. 

                                                       Scott Lundholm
