I hope I can head off the massive "corrective response" I expect
to receive about some incorrect statements I've been making
regarding MaxAppleZoom's ability to display more pixels.

I have been saying that MAZ remaps the normal 640 x 480 pixel display
onto a 704 * 512 pixel screen but without displaying any additional
information.  In effect, a simple magnification.  Simple magnification
is available on many monitors via knobs.

But after re-reading the MAZ docs it appears that more information
is displayed using MAZ.  If the resolution of the Apple RGB monitor
is 75 dpi then one goes from a normal 8.53" x 6.40" display to a 
9.38" x 6.83" display when you use MAZ.  Furthermore you should be 
able to see more of the rulers in Word, MacDraw and the like.

Sorry about the bad information.

Matt
