That's exactly what we are; do you think we actually get any WORK done on these fun gadgets? Actually there is a point to this message: I just wanted to tell the 50% of those who have sent me mail (the ones that haven't gotten replies) that I'm sorry but I DID try.... I can't seem to get the hang of mail routing, and let me tell you those bounced messages get old after a while. Anyway, since a major portion of them were concerning my comments on PALboot, asking me to send it to them, AND since it'll only take three lines, I'm going to post it here. PALboot is a program that allows Amigas with the Super Agnus and 1.3 ROM to run in PAL mode, even on a normal NTSC 1084. This gives a 25% boost in resolution with virtually no extra system overhead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ begin 644 PALboot M```#\P`````````!```````````````(```#Z0````@L>``$3J[_:D?Y`-_Q0 7HG(@+'@``DOY``-!($YP3M5.<0```_((? `` end size 68 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ . <<<>>> -- _______________________________________________________________________________ | | | Someday, I'm going to make up a clever .sig file like everyone else has... | |_____________________________________________________________________________|
