Better solution: turn on interlaced workbench, and choose your colours carefully. :-) Actually, the program on the Fish disk is quite huge for what it accomplishes. Seeing your message reminded me that I wrote an equivalent program which anyone who wants it can have. It's 148 bytes of executable. (I was tempted to uuencode it into this posting, but thought that might not be a good idea). Anyhow, if someone could look after making it generally available for me, I'll mail it to them.
