  This is free software under the motto:
  'COPY ME, I WANNA TRAVEL!'
  Please do spread the original distribution zipfile including this
  documentation exclusively. No repacking if at all possible.

0. Introduction

  This package brings you some very small utilities for handling 50/60 Hz
  switches on your Atari ST. You can setup your bootdisks with the refresh
  rate you wish to have, as logn as your monitor can handle it.
  60 Hz gives you a big improvement when using ST-MEDIUM which is useful
  for serious work and coding.

1. System requirements

  a real Atari ST/STE with color monitor
  (This software is of no use if you use emulators!)

2. Program description

  This package contains three programms and one desk accessory:

  50HZ.PRG
  Put this into the AUTO folder or doubleclick it on the desktop to set
  50Hz. Useful for US TOS or to switch back from 60Hz.

  60HZ.PRG
  Same as above, just sets 60Hz.

  5060HZ.PRG
  Similar to the one above but toggles between 50 and 60Hz.
  So if you are running this once on an German ST, you will get 60Hz but
  a second run of the utility (before pressing RESET) will switch back
  to 50Hz.

  5060HZ.ACC
  The same functionality as a desktop accessory. Click on its menu entry
  to toggle between 50 and 60Hz.

3. Credits

  All lame code by Simon Sunnyboy <marndt@asmsoftware.de>
  AUTO utilities have been written in GFABASIC, the accessory is based
  upon the Devpac sample accessory and written in M68K machine code.

  I hope this is useful!
