There are several 50Hz programs for the ST (most of the time, they are the only difference between euro and US versions of games). If you get the demo called finalcut from atari.archive, it includes a program called changehz.prg. Also, there are 50Hz booters, with which you can boot your computer in 50Hz (for autobooting games and demoes). I think there is one on atari.archive also, if not email me. -- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey R. Boyd | "Kirk to Enterprise.
