Hi Jase mate :) Yes there is a solution. Just write to the OT directly. It works fine. See my flag routine. Can't do much about the myriad of other missing libs though. How about the lack of polygon subdivision stuff? AAARGH! Here we have nice hardware and we are forced to do everything in software or use the very rigid (although nice for very quick mock ups) gslib. Sony, PLEASE explain the decision to miss out so much stuff. I cannot understand it at all. Surely if better programmers/games are too appear then you have to allow 'demo coders' et al access to at least the primitives (which should have been documented). Note about the debug font BTW: Only seems to work if loaded into location 960x256 or something like that. * Alex Amsel * Into Beyond Web Design & JAVA Programming * * http://www.intobeyond.com * WWFC Play off ****ers'97 * MM: "Hand the opposition the lead, the supporters love it"
