[comp.windows.ms] Tweaku

Has anyone seen a zip called TWEAK which claims to allow 800x600 resolution under Windows 3.0 on a standard VGA setup?

I have been trying to install this (potentially) terrific utility with no luck.  I'd love to know if others have succeeded.

Thanks.

If the Trident card uses a different mode number for 800x600 from the
Paradise chipset, no, it won't work.  You'll need to change the mode in the
source and reassemble.  Or, you can use it with the Paradise driver.

It works on my Paradise clone (but my monitor can't take it), and
it works on the IBM PS/2s here in the PC lab.

Can I ask, please, which monitor you have attaed to your PS/2 tht works with Tweak?
I can't seem to get it working at all -- this with an IBM PS/2 and a Model 
8513 monitor
