Sorry, C&KL, I am not even going to reply to your sick little outburst, so typical of your kind, but let me see how many more people I can antagonize in a single day... Hey, Hawke, sorry, but its your turn now, you are a bit more of a challenge... For me, being truly colorblind, it is really imperative to have sixteen million colors at my fingertips! When I tried the first release of your (?) truecolor library, nothing worked. I had a look under the bonnet and what I saw did not really inspire my confidence, so I put it aside. A little bit later, in a blaze of publicity, you announced a new version, better and smarter. Being a bit of a sucker as well as colorblind, I tried again. And again nothing seemed to work. Oh well... But now, a patch later, we can at least run Irv's example - your self-congratulatory style and obvious propensity to overestimate your own successes don't seem to interfere too much with your ability to learn. (That's a compliment!) Seriously, the idea of having a separate, external program to initialize a video mode is not a winner (can I put it any more diplomatically?), I think a lot of people will have trouble with it. After all, one should be able to change to various other modes or resolutions from within a single program. OTHERWISE IT'S STARTING TO LOOK QUITE GOOD! THANKS. jiri
