[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Copybits Questions

What are the important memory issues involved when using CopyBits?  IM I
mentions that only 3K of image should be copied (I doubt that this is
still true).  How much heap space does the routine use?  What happens
when it doesn't get enough (crash or nothing)?

Yes, that 3K limit on Copybits() is gone. For the latest information on 
CopyBits() and its needs you should check out Tech Note #277. For 
practical purposes you can copybits nice vast areas of color images now.
