Wow! that's a massive difference. Approximately 1/6 of the speed! 
Lets hope there will be a Yaroze libs upgrade soon? I knew the libs were 
slower but I didn't expect such a vast Difference. This will definitely 
stifle some of the things I had planned. (check out Room 3 in my demo
for an 
example of slow-down). I may speed up the VCR to compensate :-)

I will be going to ECTS so I'll see you there. Being a subscriber to CTW 
means I already have my "Fast-Lane Pass" so no queuing for me :-) 
I'll be there on Sunday.

I will take a pass this time round as I've  just acquired a Graphic
Artist & We will
Embark on a Major Rework of the project now we are aware of the
limitations Yaroze
imposes. I would like to see a list of  the demos you aim to include
though, 
as it will give me a insight as to the competition. :-)

Hope your serious about this. I will aim to produce a better demo to
include on 
this disk. (hey, stop playing Resident Evil I want to code). Hope you
set the charts
up too. Again Thanks for listening & keep the faith.
