> IBM and other early systems that used a TV were not interlaced. Huh? Are you saying that you can feed progressive video to a conventional analog TV and the TV will be happy?

TV shows and movies frequently have moving text which is readable. If someone gets the frame order wrong, or does a bad conversion from another format, things get very unreadable and unpleasant. There are probably a lot of TVs that can't resolve 480 scan lines, but hopefully they can resolve 240. So whether you believe in the interlace problem or the resolution problem, making both frames the same should fix it. Leaving the problem of system firmware writing 80x25 and not having enough screen to display it. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
