AAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK! What? How are we supposed to do graphics now? (PLEASE don't say "Use GEM" -- I really don't want to wait till next spring to get some graphics on the screen.) Is there any TT-compatible, acceptable method for producing FAST graphics on the ST? (Preferably one that will stay acceptable.) Or are we all doomed to either incompatibility or slow, creeping death? Perhaps I should read this group a little more closely. This is the first I've heard on this topic... Maybe I'll dig out my Atari 800...nobody complains if you POKE to the screen on those... :-) entropy
