Derrick Williams and Robert Gambs asked about a program which would display
color pictures on the medium-res desktop.
 
Coming soon from Darek Mihocka (co-father of the Quick ST Utilities and
father of the ST-Xformer 8-bit emulator) is  Quick ST II, his "software
blitter" which now not only speeds up text and GEM functions by several times
but also lets you load custom fill patterns for the desktop, or .PI2 and .PI3
Degas format pictures.
 
My monochrome desktop now displays a picture of Pattie Rayl, editor of the
Atari Interface Magazine...           :)
 
Quick ST II is a commercial version of the program Darek had previously
released as shareware. It's much faster, smaller, and more powerful. It's
price will be (I think..!)  $19.95    Watch for the ad in this month's
AIM magazine..!
