Re: dmxdirect SPU: public release

I hate to ask what sounds like a stupid question.  If you're only
addressing a single display, why do you even have DMX in the picture?
Why don't you address the display directly?  Asked another way, if you
have an app that does not work with tilesort, why would you use DMX?
