Also, the clown position changed from frame to frame. It's possible to have done the positions with 12 frames, run as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 I didn't check for the mirror spheres reflected in themselves. The time for generating the images was "1 to 2 hours" on the Amiga. For those comparing to the times for Wecker's images, you might ask what resolution and how many colors he's GENERATING them for, as they show up on DEC's demo for the GPX. 2) I asked, and the diga double-talk protocol is going to be released. Not as slick as uw, but still pretty good. 3) MaxiSoft announced a disk cache (MaxiCache; check their old adds). LONG AGO. They put it on hold when 1.2 showed up with it's own cache. The adds for the old version made it look good - you could specify maximum memory useage, either as a percentage of free or total. I put off writing the one I'd thought about doing because of their adds. It's always easier to get someone else to write something for you.
