- NO. The IAddress bug is *yours*. You are dereferencing a "struct Gadget *"
- from an IntuiMessage before checking to insure that the message class is either
- IDCMP_GADGETUP or IDCMP_GADGETDOWN. The SetPatch just ensures that the value
- stored there is always even. Didn't I tell you this on IRC?
-
- I'm glad you've done a "workaround". I hope you did it the way the RKRM says
- to do this.

- I've sent you a program that can build those for you...it doesn't build the
- "custom" screen modes, because you *must* have a monitors file loaded in s-s
- for the OS to know that they are there. This builds names for standard modes.

- (for everone else: I posted this to alt.sources.amiga several weeks ago.
- Look on your favorite archive site.)
