->Performers,

This is Allan's polite way of saying that we do have a work-around
(managed to slip it into Performer 2.2) but it is gross and it
isn't something you can just slap into your app.

->Note that this patch is specific to Onyx2 IR and 6.4, and that the

->The patch is still in the 12/1/97 recommended patch set for Onyx2

->should probably load this patch.

Of particular interest, it contains some Cliptexture fixes for allowing
multiple cliptextures.
