I wasn't aware that Neochrome supports variable resolutions. Somebody
actually thought ahead was back in 1985?  :-)  I have also received
some email about the IMG format also supporting variable resolution. The
question still remains, what format will Atari and/or developers decide to
make the standard on the new machines (and Hyperscreen modified STs)? Or
will this be a wait and see situation? And how with the Getrez() function 
work on the new machines?
