Date: 7 March 1988, 21:52:47 EST From: Jim McCabe JEMCCABE at MTUS5 To: INFO-ATARI16 at SCORE.STANFORD.EDU Subject: OmniRes ST I'm considering buying OmniRes ST (a program from E. Arthur Brown Co. that lets any monitor run in any resolution). I remember someone a while posting a little review of it, but can't seem to locate my old digests. I've got several questions about this product, and would appreciate any response: a) how good is the color emulation on a monochrome monitor? Especially, on an intricate multicolored background, is it distinguishable as anything other than a mess? b) how fast is this color emulation? Or, how good is the image in a faster mode? c) are color register updates performed? (like in Degas's color cycling animation technique) d) how smooth is the mouse movement when pretending to be a color monitor? This sounds like an interesting product (not nearly as interesting as the late ST Video Box, unfortunately...) If anyone else is interested, I could concatenate all the responses into a file and send them out. (That is, if someone answers this! ;) >>> I do not have anything to do with E. Arthur Brown Co., I'm just curious as a you-know-what. +-----------------------+--------------------+------------------+ | Jim McCabe | Bitnet | UUCP | | G31 ECH MTU | ---------- | -------- | | Houghton, MI 49931 | jemccabe @ mtus5 | mccabe @ m-net | +-----------------------+--------------------+------------------+
