Don't mean to be rude about this, but if you RTFM, it should help. On
page 46 of the Toaster 4000 manual (LW section) it has the answer: select
"Square Pixels" from the little pop-up menu that usually says Toaster/D2.
That'll use square pixels. I guess you can't blame Macs for being the
least compatible of computers -- but you can blame Apple...
