prove it by me.  Normaly the system software takes into account the aspect
ratio of the given monitor however the monitor itself is largely to blame
for non 1 to 1 aspect ratios.  The dot pitch and several other factors like
mask density (how close are the dots and what shape) make a lot of difference.
gee I think I just pulled a yes Gilligan.  In any case I don't know for sure
which monitors have square pixels and which don't.  The multi-sync 3d I have
here at work seems to have sort of round ones.  the AMIGA 1080/1804 I have
at home seems to have rectangular ones.
