Usually the only problem is that since we in Europe have more pixels on our screens (ex. 640*256 vs. 640*200) there is a big blank space on the bottom of the screen. If the program uses only CLI and doesn't start it's own window/screen, no problems usually occur. I speak for myself, but I never use programs which can't adopt to PAL and leave 20 % of the screen blank. My WorkBench size is now 736*284, which makes the NTSC problem even worse. Also you should notice that the aspect ratio of pictures will become wrong. >Alan Whinery >whinery@hale.ifa.hawaii.edu -- Henrik 'Leopold' Herranen Internet: h112706@lehtori.tut.fi Snail Mail: TTKK/Paarakennuksen neuvonta/PL527/33101 Tampere/Finland "I don't need no arms around me, I don't need no drugs to calm me" - PF 1979
