I don't know what happened here.  This started out as one of the best and most informative threads I'd read and now because a guy makes a joke it turns all nasty.  Lets get back to improving our OS's.  Not everybody has the extra $1000 to $1500 it now takes for an accelerator and good graphics card.  The patches are free and some can really help.  Just my thoughts.     Dan :-P

Is it ok to use FBlit on an A4000d with a Picasso IV card and Picasso96.  The docs say not to but nothing is mentioned about that in this thread.  Thanks,   Dan

I've come across another patch that so far seems OK.  It is PatchMult64 from Aminet.  It patches the utility.library.  The download includes a test program for checking the changed routines speed before and after installation.  Anyone else tried this?  I've had it installed for a couple of days now and as I said I've had no problems yet.   Dan

I saw two other patches mentioned in another thread and I looked quick and didn't see them here.  They are : NewWPA8 from aminet, and rpp from Stephan Rupprecht's site.  Does anyone know if either of these are worth using or of any real value?   Thanks,

Dan
