I thought this one was obvious, because PAL Amigas have 256 line screens as opposed to 200 line screens. (That's 512 lines in Interlace) All those folks who keep tweaking their monitors get a few more lines out of morerows can get lots of rows this way. The drawback is that you can't record this on an NTSC vcr (you need a PAL one of course) but some people never use that aspect of the system anyway. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
