- Interesting; I must have had an old version of CPU blit. I tried on
- that I had stored away a long time ago, and it crashed my 4000
- instantly. (I never used it on my 2000 since it didn't help noticeably
- with a 16 bit chip ram bus). I'll have to see if I can hunt down a new
- version. It'd be nice to have. Right now 8 plane workbenches are
- _really_ slow. (But 5 works nicely, and 6 is tolerable. 4 is really
- fast. I usually use 5 planes, in SUPER72:Super High Res).

- More on multiview: I can get multiview to crash my system instantly by
- doing this:
-
- 1. Multiview an IFF pic on your workbench screen
- 2. Reduce the size of the multiview window. Sometimes it crashes
- here.
- 3. Try to use the scroll bars. If it got by step #2, it crashes here
- on maybe 80% of the IFF files I have. If it crashes on a given
- file, it crashes every time on that file, and if it works, it works
- every time. I don't think there is anything wrong with the IFF
- file itself.
-
- I should probably report this to bugs@cbmvax.
