Some european hackers have written a great utility called PAL BOOT (I
have PAL BOOT 2.0) which moves the whole screen up a bit.  This
effectively "centers" the PAL screen over the NTSC screen.  If you are
lucky, you only lose part of the border on the top and bottom.

Unfortunately, I have not seen it on any ftp sites; however, I hear that
it is on Compuserve.
