- I have no colours that run on my screen, neither in PAL nor
- in NTSC. You are probably using a TV modulator (either
- built-in or external). I use the SCART connector and have
- no such problems. I can recommend using the SCART connector.

- No, no, no, don't create any more non-standard tags. There is no
- need for non-standard tags. Just look at what all the Netcrap has

- Sure, use IFF ILBM's if you want to. All graphic Amiga web browsers
- support them.
-
- Remember, though, that they'll be much larger and take very long
- to load if the connection between the server and the client
- is slow.
