  there's not realy a lot to say about this utility, it is a simple piece of
  code wich install's itself in memory and executes itself when  your  amiga 
  is reset. the  program make's use of location $dff1dc on the newer amiga's
  wich have the " enhanced chip set (ecs) ". all this utility does is switch
  between  50/hz pal  and  60/hz ntsc. one of it's use's is to force game's,
  util's etc, wich have been designed with  ntsc systems in mind, to use the
  full screen. strike ace's, battle squadren, the usa release of afterburner
  are example's of the type games i am talking about, try them and see. also
  in most case's it will cause the game or program to run slightly faster...

  usage:
  °°°°°°
  start the  program by clicking on it's icon or just type ecs from the cli.
  this bring's up a small  window with a notice wich will close itself after
  a very short period. the program code is now installed. on reset press the
  joystick button or the left mouse button to switch modes.

  !! warning !!
  °°°°°°°°°°°°°
  all utility bootblock's such as the scoopex utility boot, slipstream util
  boot or  virus  killer's such as  interferon and system z will remove ecs
  from memory as they will think it is a virus ............................

  upon reset the screen will turn the following colour wich mean's:-
 
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
