He needs floating point for that?



Yes and no!

To change the size of a "partial save area" I use the 68020+ instruction set, which by the way is standard on QXL, Q40, Q60 and Super Gold Card. This operation does not use a FPU.

I also plan to allow the "distortion" of an image so that it appears to be on a cylinder or sphere. This I plan to do using a PFU. Some QXLs, all Q40s and Q60s have this facility - so why not use it?
