-
-
- Limitations
- -----------
-
- Can only be used from the Workbench (start via Icon)
-
- Requires AmigaDOS 3.0+ and the AGA chipset
-
- FPU (68881/68882) highly recommended for maximum enjoyment!
-
- Designed for use with higher-resolution screen modes (640x400 and
- higher). Note that this does NOT mean the program will not work
- on lower-resolution screens. What it DOES mean is that you may
- find the programs windows take up a lot of screen "real estate"
- on lower-resolution screens
-
- For some reason, the program leaves 104 bytes allocated when it
- terminates. I have been unable to ascertain exactly where this
- memory is not being freed
