Ahem, no, not quite. If it uses cybergraphics library directly, it won't 
run on a native picasso display. If it uses vilintuisup.library, it 
probably won't run on a CV64. OK, there is a vilintuisup replacement 
shipped with CyberGfx, but I don't know what they thought they were doing 
there, practically nothing runs with this (either double buffering does 
not work, or the 24 bit color model is wrong, resulting in a garbled 
display)...

Right, in a Zorro3 system, the CV64 is the way to go... it is MUCH faster 
than a Picasso...
