Would someone please post info about where I can obtain NVDI, a German pgm to accelerate screen draws on a TT with a TTM195 monitor? Thanks.

Thanks. You should be aware of the fact that NVDI currently ONLY seems to work well in monochrome resolutions and actually slows down GEM operations in the other TT screen resolutions. It's also somewhat slower than either Turbo ST or Quick ST 2 when running on an ST, and also slower than Quick ST 3 when running on the TT in a monochrome screen resolution. Currently there is only one product available (and I'm sure you can guess what it is) that not only runs on the TT (sorry Turbo ST!) but actually significantly speeds up ALL TT screen resolutions (sorry NVDI!). :-) - Darek -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darek Mihocka.

Turbo ST and Quick ST don't. Turbo ST had problems with several programs (e.g. SIGNUM). BTW, if you use a TTM195 you don't need to speed up colour resolutions. ******************************************************** * Uwe Seimet * * seimet@sun.rhrk.uni-kl.de * *------------------------------------------------------* * I hate this machine, I wish that they would sell it. * * It doesn't what I want but only what I tell it. * * (Programmer's lament) * ********************************************************
