Ick. Yes, I see the problem. Well, at the very least the calls to the RTG should try to map closely to the calls in the graphics.library (maybe have an extended RastPort structure with extra colors and so on). I think the Sprites, copper lists, and so on can be left out. But the higher level routines should remain the same. You want to keep the door open to opening Intuition windows on a second head. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>.
