Last night I found out a quick way to enjoy(?) the benifits(?) of the workbench in "doubled-line" interlace mode. If you open one of the widely-distributed pictures which features interlace mode, such as the deamon or mandrill, (I use deamon, since it's shorter and quicker to load) then hit amiga-N to bring the workbench screen to the front and pull it (the workbench screen) down any amount, it'll then be in interlace mode (at its full vertical size, due to line doubling). This works in intuition ver 1.0. I've found that you can stop it by splitting the screen between any screen not in interlace mode and the workbench screen (by pulling either of them down). When the system flashes the screen in error, it sometimes stops the interlace. And once in preferences, I moved one of the color settings and it reverted. I find this to be preferable to setlace.c, especially since I haven't gotten it onto my amiga yet. (I just got the amiga talking through the serial port last night using Amigabasic. If you reply to me through mail, please reply to me at: wisc.rsch.edu!gumby!batman!avery since my acct. here lasts only through Sunday. Thank you.

If you have Microsoft's Amigabasic, see the screen function.
