This would be interesting, since you give up two of your colors for speed and less CHIP ram usage. I've been trying to track this program down; if anyone has a copy, could they send it to Bob Page so it can be posted on the sources/binaries groups? Of course, being able to open a CLI window that uses only two of the four available bitplanes on a standard Workbench screen would be a neat hack, too. -- Michael Portuesi / Information Technology Center / Carnegie Mellon University ARPA: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: mp1u+%andrew.cmu.edu@cmccvb UUCP: ...harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mp1u+ "my friends say she's a dumb blonde, but they don't know she dyes her hair"
