- It really works. However, it does so in a fairly system friendly
- manner, which means that it:
-
- 1) Won't promote anything that goes around the OpenScreen* functions.
-
- 2) Won't promote to non-lace anything that _really_ asks for lace.
- The only case of this I've seen thus far is dpaint.
-
- Other than that, it works, and even lets you do program-specific
- screen promotion. (Ie, promote excellence to 896x628 but leave Copyist
- at 640x400).
-
- I use it to promote everything to SUPER72 so my monitor doesn't jump
- when changing between screens of different scan rates.
