Martin, I just thought I'd tell you since I once asked you about overscan, it is possible (in fact I've just added it to my program) to do overscan without going through intuitionbase, therefore making it compatible with 1.4. My only problem now is I can only use it to SHOW, when I use menus I have to go back since I can't seem to convince Intuition that the screen has moved! But that isn't too bad! Oh, you can pick up the HSV stuff over at Amigatech!

One way to do overscan easily without poking IntuitionBase is to change the dimensions of an opened screen (and its ViewPort) and then do a MakeScreen on it. This will make your screen overscan, although the mouse won't reach all corners. Again, this won't work under 1.4.

Hmmm…. That's interesting! The way I thought, I didn't think 1.4 would intefere with it… Oh well! Back to the drawing board! That's going to make A LOT v:of programs incompatible, isn't it?
