Maybe the blending could be calculated offscreen with SIMD extensions (and plain C++ fallback if none are present), and then the resulting bitmap would be blitted to the screen; hopefully that's not THAT sluggish (except on my Pentium 133). Cheers, Andr=E9 --=20 "A computer is like a violin. You can imagine a novice trying first a phonograph and then a violin. The latter, he says, sounds terrible. That is the argument we have heard from our humanists and most of our computer scientists. Computer programs are good, they say, for particular purposes, but they aren't flexible. Neither is a violin, or a typewriter, until you learn how to use it." Marvin Minsky
