As a followup to my previous posting regarding the CSA 68020/68881
system I was able to time some scenes from Sculpt 3D with and without
68881 support. These timings are done with an Amiga 1000, CSA 68020/68881,
1MB 32bit ram, and 6MB 16 bit ram. 3D refers to the regular distribution of
Sculpt 3D and 3D8 refers to the version offered that utlizes the 68020/68881.

	Scene		3D		3D8
	Apple		00:28		00:14
	Boing		00:30		00:15
	Rocker		39:30		12:36

This may or may not constitute considerable improvement for some. I should
know better than use such a relative term. When I first received the package
I tried the rocker and I knew that the 3D8 package was faster. I hope the
timings help.

In terms of the library support for the 68881 under 1.2 I was basing my 
comments on my own observations. The system as received from CSA did not
mention a replacement library for 68881 support. One example that was
sent was a Basic program with some hand code implemented. I am using the
Absoft Turbo Fortran which does support the 68020/68881.
