Overscan on the Falcon 030
by Douglas Little ©1993 The Pixel Twins
This program lets you put your Falcon into overscan mode. It is particularly
useful for window based word processing programmings where you cannot
normally use the full screen width. This program increases your current
screen resolution by 20%. It will have no effect, or at least no desireable
effect, on ST compatibility modes. To use OVERSCAN.PRG properly you must
follow a few simple instructions.
1) OVERSCAN.PRG must be double-clicked from the Desktop in a Falcon specific
resolution. Your Desktop will appear to be offset after running the program.
2) Now go to the Options Menu and change resolution (video mode). You will
now be in overscan mode. Change resolution as often as you like and overscan
will be effective in all non ST modes.
3) If you want overscan to be permanently on, just go to the Options Menu
and select Save Desktop. The overscan setting will be saved in your
NEWDESK.INF file and will be installed every time you boot up your computer
with that disk in the drive (or permanently if you have a hard drive). To
remove overscan, simply rename your NEWDESK.INF file and reboot your Falcon.
