Baggett) writes: > Setscreen((char *) -1L, (char *) new_phys_base, -1); > Vsync(); I'm not particularly familiar with the ST, but since SetScreen is asynchronous, the following code (based on Amiga code) should work better: Generate animation in newscreen; Vsync(); /* wait for previous SetScreen (of oldscreen) to work */ SetScreen(newscreen); Go back to generate next screen. This way you get to do computations while waiting for SetScreen, and there's always a screen out there waiting to show up. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' peter@sugar.uu.net Have you hugged U your wolf today?
