MONOFIX
-------
The ATARI Falcon030 can be connected to the SM124/144/146. It will
then automatically display ST-high-resolution. But there is a
little problem (at least with TOS 4.01): Some (older) programs quit
saying they only work in high resolution, but the resolution
definitivly is "ST-high". And Maccel doesn't invert the screen
periodically, as it is used to be in ST-high, it only inverts it
once.
So I searched for a reason and found two things: One system-variable
isn't initialized correctly (sshiftmd, it's saying 3 instead of 2) and
the palette-size of the vdi work_out-field shows 4096 (which is,
according to Julian F. Reschke, correct, but causes some programs to
think they don't run in ST-high).
MONOFIX is a patch for the AUTO-folder that hooks itself into trap #2
(XBRA MFIX) and waits for the v_opnwk-call of the AES. It then sets the
the palette-size to 2 and initialises sshiftmd correctly. Now Maccel
works as expected and most programs will run without complaining that
they are only running in ST-high.
MONOFIX may be freely distributed, the only condition is that both
files (MONOFIX.PRG and MONOFIX.TXT) are copied completely and unchanged
(archiving is allowed).
