I'll have to consider this, already somebody has said that he had the sam=
e
problems, red bands for the engine demo and that when he got cgx4 they we=
nt
away. I had perhaps naively assumed that since I only got the card a week
ago, it would naturally have the latest libraries. I can imagine a fair
number of others who've just got their batch of bvisions like me baffled =
as
I have been, and they may be a bit dissapointed when it comes to buying
these fancy new games.

As for the money, I'm not so bothered about spending it, so long as the
equipment and software, often quite expensive, actually works. I invested
in my amiga to program games basically and spent well over =A31000 upgrad=
ing
it, I start to wonder weather I should cut my losses though as the
important things like StormC3 and the PPC dont seem to work so well
together. I will probably go for this cgx4, but past experience says that
theres only a 50/50 chance it'll work. But then everybody is telling me,
"get cgx4, you wont regret it." - well I hope not.
btw, if anybody has the latest version of the cgx3 cgxsystem.library v41.=

then please send it to me as www.vgr.com 's links are broke. I have v41.1=
