The produced file is a normal HI-RES 16 colour image, which will be decoded by the HAM-E hardware to LO-RES with many colours. The announced "add-on" called "anti-aliasing engine" will probably take the LO-RES output and make a HI-RES screen by giving each newly inserted pixel a colour depending on the neighbour pixels. The colours ARE very sharp. Tommy Petersson etxtomp@eos.ericsson.se
