1. BIGSCRN.PRG will not let you use bigger screen sizes under Spectre 128
   because Spectre chucks out the ST's GEM OS and substitutes the Mac's OS.
   As such, BIGSCRN.PRG is vapourized!

2. My NeoDesk manual says that formatting a disk under NeoDesk automatically
   lays down the DOS boot sector, no need to wait for TOS 1.4. A friend of
   mine says that he uses 800K disks on his 80386 and these are formatted
   under NeoDesk. Personally, I have not tried to use a NeoDesk formatted
   disk in a Pc at work, I still have a bunch of DClick formatted disks.

3. If you want to boot up your ST in medium res after saving a desktop away
   using a mono monitor, use STARTUP.PRG and the RES MEDIUM command.
