- I use !SetDir for overscan modes, now it didnt work at first in Risc OS3.1,
- and I decided to find out why - the reason was that it used
- the same modes as some of the new ones. The solution was simple
- (if a little fiddly) - I binary patched the module to change the
- modes it used. Is there a program which calculates
- the !Patch files? If so I could produce a patch file.
