Ahhhh me.
Once again, my psychic powers fail me. :(
Aside from small errors introduced by rounding, and using my using "3 Gb" in
a careless manner to describe numbers ranging from 3,000,000,000 bytes to as
much as 3,221,225,472 bytes, I don't see where you might have a problem with
the numbers.
Maybe it has to do with the word "screen" ? Is a virtual screen in 1024x768
only 768 lines high, or is it the height of the entire PAGE as Arachne seems
to treat it - and therefore can be any number of lines high up to the limit ?
Is it that Arachne has a built-in limit of 15 x the vertical resolution and
therefore virtual screens greater than 11520 bytes are meaningless ?
I'm sure there are many that might be interested in the answers. I suppose
I could look at the source if I thought my understanding of "C" and "Czech"
had somehow improved over the last month, but you already seem to know the
answer, so please share it. <G>
It's more fun this way, anyway.
