- There was a mode added to Digi-View 4.0 called Dynamic HiRes which used
- the processor to switch 16 color palattes on every line of a hires screen
- thus giving far more color resolution than a normal hires screen. This cool
- code was written by Ken Turcotte here at NewTek. Ken wrote a stand-alone
- image viewer called Dyna-Show that supported this mode. It also supports
- Dynamic HAM which switches base palattes on every line of a lores HAM screen.
- A really amazing image in this mode can be seen on Demo Reel #3 from NewTek.
- We don't distribute this anymore but it should be available at your local
- users group or PD repository. There were also three or four demo images
- released on a slideshow disk as a dealer demo. This should also be available
- from the same sources.
