- LACER PD v1.02
- --------------
- Public Domain 12 May 88
-
- LACER puts the Amiga video output into interlaced mode, and keeps it
- interlaced. Interlaced mode is essential for good recording on video tape.
- LACER does not affect the resolution of the screen. Any screen can be
- interlaced.
- LACER was written specifically to counter the effect of some Aegis(tm)
- programs (such as VideoTitler and VideoScape 3D(tm)). These programs
- turn off the interlaced mode when run, or in the case of 3D, after each
- sequence is run. LACER should handle all programs that do that. When the
- interlaced mode is turned off, LACER will automatically re-interlace the
- display within one-half second.
- LACER is a very small program, and takes up less graphics ("chip") memory
- than you might think. The garish logo is not stored in chip memory, but
- chip memory is allocated briefly to display it.
- LACER can be run from CLI or Workbench. A crass advertisement first
- appears, and ten seconds later the garish logo is displayed. At that point
- the display will be interlaced, and should stay interlaced as long as the
- window is open. To exit, close the window. Exiting will turn off the
- interlacing (unless your Workbench screen is interlaced by default).
-
- If you would like a custom version that does not have the advertisement
- or the logo, (i.e. if you find this program useful), send me $15, or $10
- and a disk. Include any text you would like to appear in the window, such
- as your company name.
- Please send me suggestions or comments about video production software
- for the Amiga. You can call (818) 362-6031 between 10am & 4pm Pacific time,
- or if you have a modem, you can leave a message on CompuServe(tm) to
- 73267,3361, or on the 1939 BBS at (818) 368-4248.
