- I thought so to, but look at the following quote from the original message:
- There are resolutions from
- 256*100/RGB (51200 bytes) or 160*200/VGA (64000 bytes),
- all the way to 384*240/RGB&VGA (184320 bytes).
-
- It says clearly that the 160x200 VGA mode uses 64000 bytes.
-
- 256x100 = 25600 and those are words since we are in TC => 51200 bytes
- 384x240 = 92160 - " - => 184320 bytes
- * 160x200 = 32000 - " - => 64000 bytes
- QED
-
- Maybe Anders made a typo, but that _is_ what he said.
-
- Even if this turns out to be true we could probably (IMHO) switch resolution
- on the fly for the status bar.
