G'day Sarah & Patryk,
thanks for that.
I will give it a go.
Just one question though.
Is 320 x240 and 640 x 480 the Pixel size or mm or what, in the graphics
program?
cheers
Tony Bilbrough

You can replace the logo.sys file with an 8-bit (256 color)

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said,
                but I am not sure you realise,
                that what you  heard,
                is not what I meant.
