These are generally questions that I don't touch, because people have yelled
at me for providing answers to the wrong question.  Notice the key word in
the original message: DUPLICATE.  I gather from this one word that Gerhard
is trying to display the same image on two monitors that are connected to the
same machine.  So, the question is then transformed to:  How can I split a
Macintosh video signal so that I can display the same image on two different
monitors (usually so that it can be seen by a group of people)?

If anyone has the details of how to do this, I would appreciate knowing as
well, because I can think of many situations where this would be nice.
