Summary: How non-EHB Amigas can show EHB images...


    While we're on the subject, version 2.00 of VideoScape 3D has some
new features which should please both those with Extra Halfbrite-capable
Amigas and those with older machines.  The program can now generate
animations that take advantage of EHB to get better shading (optional, of
course).  And when using the Hold and Modify option, the program can load
background and foreground IFF files that use normal, HAM, or EHB modes
(any palette).  What this means is that you can view Extra Halfbrite
pictures even using non-EHB-capable Amigas and still see the 64 color
effect.  This is done by converting the images into HAM mode, which all
Amigas support (except maybe some of the REALLY old ones)...
