Well, I for one am convinced that JRComm 1.0 will be great. It's fast and has
*lots* of options and modes.

However, just like Lars, I'm getting very tired of all these NTSC frames that
US programs use all the time. I know it's easy to check if the machine is PAL
or NTSC. I don't want to have an unused stripe at the bottom of my screen...
So come on guys: when you write a program, make the screen 255 high if it's
a PAL machine and leave the 200-line screens for the inferior NTCS mode.
