Yes, it can display more screen area, no it can't save it. You get the top 32K as far as I can tell. Certainly, it remains a 32K file with bottom of the graph missing. If you are in a mode 4 hires screen, xchange 3.90L seems to cope (but not in anything other than mode 4). If in high colour modes, the graphs don't always display correctly, sometimes not at all. Marcel's hacked version seems to work in mode 32 at least, though I haven't tried all the possible graph variations. I should have mentioned that only Xchange Easel can save the CUT file format. Standard QL Easel can only save ordinary 32K screens. -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
