It DOES still make use of features in the video driver that are done in hardware, even if it's not full hardware acceleration that's available on Win9x. I get a nice antialiased version of the image if I stretch 1x1 to 2x2 at home under NT, but get a chunky image and lower frame rate if I tell it to use the Hardware Emulation Layer instead. It may not apply to more complication 2D operations, but the same blitting and stretching are probably used by the standard GDI functions too. It wouldn't run my PacMan at over 200fps if it was all being done in software! Si
