[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Does CopyBits still work with more the 1 bit screen depth

tomc@mntgfx.mentor.com (Tom Carstensen) (04/30/88)

Must old programs that use copy bits assuming a black and
white screen be updated, since it only allocates enough
space for a 1 bit screen?  Or will they be OK as long as the
do CopyBits within thier own windows?

Which is another question.  Is it bad practice to do CopyBit
operations outside your own window (i.e writing your own 
menus that do CopyBits on the desktop port).  Must I check
for the screen depth?
