Are there any speed > improvements even for a 256-colous MacII? Anyone noticed improvements? There are not any very noticable speed improvements, although 8 bit deep stuff may be a little quicker. The biggest benefits I have found are: - you can view 16 and 32 bit deep PICTs and they will be dithered into 8 so that you can see a reasonable facsimile of the image - the palette handling seems very much improved - One a monchrome monitor, colors are now mapped by luminance, which looks quite a bit better than old Color Quickdraw. -- Amanda Walker InterCon Systems Corporation "Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our own point of view." --Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Return of the Jedi"
