Well folks,

Jim has been able to build a copy of the DirectX 8 demo version of the Aquarium with a Powder Blue Tang transplanted into it on a system that was exhibiting banding issues.

Folks! The BANDING ISSUE is GONE! OUTTA HERE!

The Powder Blue Tang looks just as good on a TnT Riva 16MB as it does on a $200 GeForce 2 card.

I thought I'd share the news with those of you who have been patiently waiting more information on this issue.

The final version of the DirectX 8 will be available shortly. Please don't ask for the Demo version. There's a reason it's a demo version, it only has 3 fish done which is a bit of a downgrade for registered users who have all 15 fish right now. As soon as Jim has rebuilt all 16 fish in the next version (a beautiful Picasso Trigger* is now confirmed as an addition to the DX8 version) Jim will put it out, not a minute sooner.

Thanks for your patience!


*Picasso Trigger will likely be a Windows-exclusive fish and not appear on the Macintosh version.
