- Ahh. I got it to work now. Don't know what my problem was the 1st
- time around. It works really well. My 5 plane 896x628 screen is
- easily as fast as 2 planes was in 640x400 on my 2000. 6 planes is
- downright usable, and even 7 is tolerable. 8 is still pretty slow
- though at that res - maybe it'd be better at a lower res. (Also, 8
- takes up too much chip ram. But I can't see any real reason to use
- an 8 plane workbench, either. If you need that many colors, open
- another screen or something).

- Almost anything. Lets see: I've got an image from 1986 or so called
- "DreamHouse". Try that. Crashes every time for me. The machine just
- kind of stops - no guru, no task fail requester, nothing. This happens
- on most of the images I have, from ones I got in 1985 to ones I just
- created yesterday.
