- Yes, I had a look at the excellent menu executable. It's a very nice
- piece of work...
-
- I realize that I need to access the Config file to extract the user's
- desired configuration, but they can still center that 234-pixel box
- and I can use that data to center my variable-size displays.
-
- I'm currently using a 225-pixel display for NTSC users and a
- 265-pixel display for PAL-users, which is why NTSC-mode has a
- greater amount of vertical-scrolling compared to the tiny vertical
- scroll area on PAL-machines.
-
- The reason I'm using 225-pixels for the NTSC display is because I
- know for a fact that some televisions can only display 225 lines in
- NTSC. My brother's television is one of them...
-
- Anyway, this really shouldn't matter as I will center everything
- based around the data the user has stored in the Config file, which
- means everything should work out fine in the end, correct?

- Take care,
