Oops forgot to add:   5) Does not support more than 8 colours - ie. no colour drivers have been developed for it 6) It only runs on the Amiga and Q40/Q60 computers.  Cannot be used on a standard QL, or any emulator except for the UAE Amiga emulator.   -- Rich Mellor RWAP Services 35 Chantry Croft, Kinsley, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF9 5JH TEL: 01977 610509 Visit our website at URL:http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk Stuck with ordinary dial up internet connection ??
