Disclaimer:
-----------
You should only use this program if you are really sure what you are doing.
I can't be held responsible for any damage this program might do.
By using it carelessly, you might in extreme cases blow your monitor,
so use with care..
How to use:
-----------
Start the programm.
Now press 'r' and enter the vertical resolution of the mode you want to
generate.
After that you might want to press Space to switch to active mode.
Please note that pressing Space again will exit active mode, so if your
monitor starts making funny sounds you perhaps should hit space.
When in active mode, you see how your monitor is displaying the mode
you are editing. The red border indicates the display area of the
mode you are creating.
Now you can change the line rate using the Left and Right Arrowkeys and the
vertical width using Page Up and Down.
When you are satisfied with the line and frame rate you can adjust the
vertical position of the display area with the Up and Down Arrowkeys and
the horizontal extension with the keys 'k', 'o', 'l' and 'p'.
When finished, press 'm' and enter the horizontal resolutions you want modes
to be generated for, ending your imput with an empty line. This will save
a modefile containing those modes called 'MDF' in the current set
directory.
You should then exit the program by pressing 'q' and insert the created modes
in your mode definition file using a text editor.
When editing a mode you can use the Alt and Shift keys to modify the amount
by which the Arrow Keys, Page Up/Down, 'k' ,'o', 'l' and 'p' change their
respective value. Alt is *2, Shift is *5, both keys together amount to *10.
Note

If you are still using 3.5, please contact me, I might then be able to add
support for that, too...
