Honestly, I do believe that hard-coding it would not require all that much logic. Mind you, we do have to support a few different modes, but even then, I'm not sure it would add up to the same as a CPU. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
