Hi ! Thanks for all reports.
The greatest improve is on Win98, where Alpha resolution goes from 50ms to 1-2 ms. On Win2K the resolution goes from 10ms to 1-2 ms. In other words, AlphaGT enhances just if your application has: * Win98 more than 19FPS (~1000/50) ; * Win2K more than 100FPS (~1000/10); * Alpha with increasingAlphaDuration less than 1000ms and/or increasingAlphaRampDuration, alphaAtOneDuration, decreasingAlphaDuration, decreasingAlphaRampDuration, alphaAtZeroDuration less than 100ms on Win98 or less than 20ms on win2K. Maybe the demo is not well suited for win2k. I guess a analogic chronometer (seconds and ms pointers) shows better the enhancents. I will rewrite the demo.
