SetSpeed v1.0 ------------- DISTRIBUTION: This program is copyright 1990 Chris Simpson, but can be freely distributed by any means as long as the source code and this file are included in the distribution. INTRODUCTION: Newer versions of the Amiga are fitted with the Fatter Agnus chip which, amongst other things, allows you to specify whether to run your machine at 50 or 60Hz. On PAL machines with a good quality display, this causes the screen to strech so that only the top 200 lines can be seen on the screen, but the machine runs faster. With a poorer quality display, the screen flickers badly, but the increase in speed still occurs. As NTSC machines already run at 60Hz (I think!) no speed increase can be obtained, but somebody somewhere might find a use for the 50Hz mode. USAGE: SetSpeed works from the CLI only. Typing "SetSpeed" without any command line parameters will cause a brief help message to appear telling you what to do. To set the speed, use "SetSpeed x" where x is either an "S" or "F" to select slow (50Hz) or fast (60Hz) mode. The value of x can be either upper or lower case. To change the speed at a later time, just run the program again, but supply the opposite speed as a value of x.
