Well, Jesup, one thing: When the heck am I going to get 2.0 for my Amiga 500!
Until then, I will abstain from ARP because I have a personal bias against it.
Until ARP is distributed WITH Workbench's I will not use Arp.library. :-)
Anyways, when will 2.0 come out for my poor 500? And if I don't have the new
ECS will the screen be in constant interlace? :-)
