Attention all of you! I have just uploaded a copy of Bob Pariseau's "SETLACE". It is a utility to force the AMIGA into 400 line resolution, independent of the graphic resolution used! If you have a copy of Lattice C download it and enjoy it!!!! -RSL- *** There is a reply: 42288 Enter command, N for next message or <CR> for menu : n

Roy, thanks for UPLing that. I was trying to, but of course I am having great difficulties doing any UP/DOW. The only problem with the program is that it really shows up the flicker with text, etc. I did some fiddling around, and found that once you run SETLACE, ABasiC leaves it alone, and runs in Interlaced mode. Regards, Larry. *** There is a reply: 42297 Enter command, N for next message or <CR> for menu : n

Hi Larry. Are you using the Amiga RGB monitor? The reason I'm asking is that I understand that the flicker in interlaced mode is caused by the fact that the refresh rate in the monitor is only 60 times a second, standard NTSC. Converting a 1902 monitor to analog RGB is cheaper than buying the Amiga RGB, but maybe the Amiga RGB has the faster refresh rate (120 per second, I think) to prevent flicker in interlaced mode.

'Fraid not Tim. The Amiga monitor has a standard refresh rate, ie. 60 Hz. I don't know what the specs are on the tube in the 1902, but I understand it really does the job well. I've heard that a converted 1902 is really a 1080, but I can't personally vouch for this. It was a good thought though. Regards, LArry.

Your welcome Larry! I'm afraid that unless we all want to change NTSC standards, we'll continue to suffer (or tolerate) that damned flicker!!!! -RSL-
