LACER PD v1.02
--------------
Public Domain 12 May 88
LACER puts the Amiga video output into interlaced mode, and keeps it
interlaced. Interlaced mode is essential for good recording on video tape.
LACER does not affect the resolution of the screen. Any screen can be
interlaced.
LACER was written specifically to counter the effect of some Aegis(tm)
programs (such as VideoTitler and VideoScape 3D(tm)). These programs
turn off the interlaced mode when run, or in the case of 3D, after each
sequence is run. LACER should handle all programs that do that. When the
interlaced mode is turned off, LACER will automatically re-interlace the
display within one-half second.
LACER is a very small program, and takes up less graphics ("chip") memory
than you might think. The garish logo is not stored in chip memory, but
chip memory is allocated briefly to display it.
LACER can be run from CLI or Workbench. A crass advertisement first
appears, and ten seconds later the garish logo is displayed. At that point
the display will be interlaced, and should stay interlaced as long as the
window is open. To exit, close the window. Exiting will turn off the
interlacing (unless your Workbench screen is interlaced by default).
If you would like a custom version that does not have the advertisement
or the logo, (i.e. if you find this program useful), send me $15, or $10
and a disk. Include any text you would like to appear in the window, such
as your company name.
Please send me suggestions or comments about video production software
for the Amiga. You can call (818) 362-6031 between 10am & 4pm Pacific time,
or if you have a modem, you can leave a message on CompuServe(tm) to
73267,3361, or on the 1939 BBS at (818) 368-4248.
