Hey, you are the author who wrote A2fx!  Did you ever update the
program?  I have version 0.7.

In answering your question, yes it is possible to use a 15khz RGB
monitor with VGA/SVGA PC input.  This may be contrary to popular
opinion, but it is not very difficult at all.  There is a device called the
AverKey that takes a VGA/SVGA signal and converts it to three
different outputs: 15khz RGB, NTSC composite, and S-video.  It
costs around $100 to $150 depending on where you buy it.  I would
not buy it just to use an Apple RGB or a Sony television as a Mac
or PC display, but if you have one on hand it works quite well.
