@gulliver: i remember visual prefs to trash my palette and introduced some settings in env causing it that were really hard to get rid of. afa doesnt work well on less that 16bit. thats true. i was trying to convince bernd to adopt it but he thinks none is using it without a gfx card anyway. i have a little partial fix for that underway. hope this motivates him a little.
as for powerwindows i couldnt live without it anymore. of course the full instalation is needed, including patching kickstart. on one of my machines it is done with blizkick, on another the module is included into a rom flash of the deneb. both works great since years. i cannot recal a single problem, incompatibility, with any software, crash, hangup or even a glitch i had with it. it seems one of very few softwarez on amiga that do not contain any bugs.
what problems did you have? since i would heavily recommend powerwindows for anybody that not only uses his amiga for gaming
btw. posting it from the new 68k netsurf version
on my a4k!
