I would like to know how to reset the screen contrast for the Lisa (Mac XL)
from within macworks.
(I know there is/was a system call in the old pascal developers system to
 do this).

In the latest version of macworks I have it seems to get set to zero (maximum) as 
macworks boots, which makes the screen look all blurred.

Any help gratefully received, anyone else have the same problem?

Hi there!
	I'm considering buing a Lisa 2 (the model that was also called Mac XL).
Could someone inform me on the compatibility of this machine to other Macs ?
I've worked on one before (or was it a Lisa-1? I can't remember), and I only
remember that the screen (the pixels, actually) were non-square (gave a funny
look at circles :-). I didn't do any system-specific programming back then, so
I don't know any differences. So I'd like any info on:
(1) Do Mac (1, SE, II, etc.) programs run on Lisa-2 ?
(2) Is programming it much different ?

Please MAIL rather than post, I can't keep up with these newsgroups,

Thanx for any info,
