What a wonderful program this Antiflicker is! If you're stuck with no
FlickerFixer and have utility for it (I use it with DNet to make a _really_
slick setup), be sure to check this out!
"Huh?" you ask yourself. "Subject line says `woes'!" Well, yeah. I
followed the tips in the last few lines of the file AntiFlicker.English
which is in the AntiFlicker.lzh file on abcfd20 and modified my system-
configuration to make me an Overscan screen. Cool! Unfortunately, I
believe that I've also just given myself a PAL-mode screen, which simply
won't do, as I'm in the US and have a NTSC Amiga!
So! Can anybody give me hints as to what I should change bytes D8 and D9
in devs:system-configuration to to give myself a normal overscan screen?
I wouldn't complain except that programs like MuchMore, etc., utilize
every scan line they can find and I just can't read that far down the screen,
where the monitor face is covered!
Hmm. Perhaps what I'm asking just isn't possible, hmm? Let me know.
Thanks.

I have the Amiga 1000 with 1080 monitor. I used morerows to get 40 more pixel columns, but like you, the vertical has no room. I had to go into preferences and move the screen a bit after I did this and also selected interlace, btw. I did not install the fonts from antiflicker and just ran it.. boy thats not right I guess. It smeared the characters so bad that it looked like someone had cranked the focus out. Yes it flickered less but I want sharper font not less sharp. Do the fonts with it, make a diff? other thing I did was to set up to put two cli windows up, one is standard width (640x240), other is 680x240 and running the scroll back device (Console Buffer 1.1 by William Fritz). I sized it so that the right most line of the scroll bar is actually off screen. This gives me an 81 char text window with scroll back and a 77 char standard window. I have had some crashes with Console buffer though. When I run CLIPS (a rule based shell for artificial intelligence) and do a system call to run a simple c program the scroll bar goes away, but the window still works. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan McDonley, Martin Marietta Information and Communication Systems (303) 977-3347 mcdonley@inlatlas.den.mmc.com P.O.Box 1260 ncar!dinl!mcdonley Denver,CO 80201-1260 Opinions are my own, not my employer's. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
