I just got my IIGS assembler last week. I just got time to use it today, and found that the SHR screen really is usable for animation!!!!! I have never used C for animation before, and tried it, but it sure didn't do too much for me. Blam..the wonders of quick memory moves! Is their really any reason not to bypass quickdraw? Or, is more that just a outline of a window in that area of memory? SHR is great! This is the first time in my life no lookup tables are needed for drawing!!!!! Feels like heaven to me. scott hutinger mmpr004@ecncdc.bitnet

[...] For some kinds of programs, going directly to the screen is your best choice. Reasons to *use* QuickDraw II include: insuring compatibility with any future GS-compatible machines, and (if you use the other desktop tools, too) providing the user with a consistent desktop interface, including NDAs. -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
