Hi all,
Could someone post a summary of overscan to the net.  I looked through
the RKM manuals, the hardware reference, and intuition manuals and was
unable to ascertain how to use it.  Also, is there some special way to
code so that my programs will be compatable with overscan screens?  If 
this is described somewhere, please tell me where.

Also, I have been trying to think of an elegant way to handle blinking
text in a program.  The best way I can think of to do this is to use
and extra bit plane and have a periodic function (hooked into VBLANK
maybe) that alters the color map for the screen.  Any suggestions?

					  - Thanks
