- I am using version 0.97, copyright Eddy Carroll, Februyary 1991. I am
- using a 6 plane dblNTSC 676x467 screen and find it to be at least as
- fast as the A3000 in a 3 plane NTSC Workbench. If you want to see how
- slow it can be, try turning of the caches and burst... :-)

- Could you tell me what files you are displaying? I haven't experienced
- a single crash on any of the 30-40 pictures that I've tried. If you
- could email them to me or upload them somewhere, I'll gladly try them out
- and see if I can reproduce this bug.
