Most software developers in Germany still use the "old" DPaint II
to  create  graphics.   DPaint  III  adapts itself to the display
modes the european Amigas offer:  PAL.  This has some advantages,
but also some disadvantages.  DPaint always saves the whole page,
not  only  the first 200 lines, so the image has to be cut to fit
the  program  it  will  be used in later.  If the image currently
being  loaded  is  not  of  the  same size as the current picture
DPaint  always  brings up a requester asking if the user wants to
change  to the screen format the new file has.  This happens even
if  the  screen  format is Lo-res, DPaint has opened a PAL screen
(256  lines)  and  the image being loaded is only 200 lines high.
It  would  be  fine  if DPaint would open a screen with 200 lines
after  the requester has appeared, but the screen stays 256 lines
high.   To  avoid  these  problems and to save some memory I have
adapted  some  tools  by  Dr.   Peter  Kittel, very well known in
Germany  for  his  BASIC  projects,  to allow the user to set the
display  mode he wants.  This tool was designed to work both from
Workbench and CLI so you can use it in DPaint's startup-sequence.
You  may  also  add  it to your DPaint disk (backup it before you
copy SetMode to your disk) and double-click its icon.
