Yes, as long as you use a ScreenMode requester to allow them to select a GFX
card screen mode.
Or use BestModeID_ , but that's a whole other can of worms...
And you must run the program itself in a window (for GFX card modes, I mean)

I just wanted to point out that Freds NCS libraries have some very nice,
easy to use, chunky routines. It doesn't have anywhere near the
special-effects available in Mildred, but it does contain the most-needed
stuff - ie, the equivalent of normal "blitting" and drawing commands done
to fast-ram chunkies.
As well as C2P conversion.
There is also Mini-Mildred (just the C2P conversion stuff).
Not to mention Blitz's own Chunky.library commands...
Later...
