   There aint no bug buddy, morerows and many others change the x-y offsets
   in the devs:system-configuration file and guess where DP3 (or PixMate
   for that matter) is looking for the screen sizes ? Right, in system-config.
 
   I had this a while ago, DP3 wouldn't play anims created on my machine at
   a friends place, I also had trouble playing a MovieSetter anim on the
   other Amiga's besides my own. Now what was the trouble, in DP3 I created
   a demo animation with a picture size of 672*274 (my 'normal' screen),
   the other machines around where 640*256 (PAL ?) so that wouldn't fit.
 
   With PixMate I changed a HAM picture to lo-res so MovieSetter would accept
   it as backgound for my wizz-bang animation, PixMate thought, he lets take
   current screen size (672*274) and MovieSetter said, fine go ahead.
   Playback both the anims on other Amiga's was out of the question, no way
   unless we put the system-configuration in devs:
 
   No bugs, just a little tradeoff for 'auto PAL/NTSC' detection I guess.
