Hi, I totally agree here. Adding platformspecific fast
rendering/blitting code to the binary should't bloat it and mostly each
platform has some kind of accelerated blitting. It's not to hard to add
as I'm sure RT has some internal blitting routines. These just need to
be altered to use the faster versions... Like TinyPTC ;-)). I hope we
will see this soon... If not: RT I'm going to do the windows blitting
stuff for you for free :-)). Robert
