I see what you mean. I didn't think the BG image changed, I was wondering if
there was a way to save the time. But I see it's tricky do decide what to AA
and what not to. Better to lean on the side of a high quality image. Thanks,
All,
Since LW is being ported to the PC (due date?), is there any advantage to me
trying to upgrade my Amiga hardware? Seems to me I should just get a fast 486
or Pentium and LW/PC.
Also, (off topic alert) is the Amiga PAR the same hardware card as the PC
PAR? (There is a PC version, isn't there?) Can I just swap the card and get
new software?
Thanks,
-P
