fine for me.
OS 3.5's 'Workbench' preferences program (in the Prefs drawer) does
*not* have a facilty to use Fast-Ram for icon images. I'm *not* using
OS 3.9, so I do not have this facilty to redirect icons displayed
under Opus to Fast-RAM. WB2Fast and WBCtrl were produced for OS 3.5
for handling this but these programs fail to display icons to
Fast-RAM. My only assumption is Opus handles the V44 colour icons
differently.
Does anyone else have any other idea's how I can render my icons to
Fast-RAM when running Opus Magellan ? I'm fed up with my chip ram
being eaten up when running Opus in WBR (icon mode) on CGFX 3...
