     Applevision is a cute demo. It does not appear to be in 560 x192
resolution. Although 280 pixels are available per horizontal scan line,
the rules for dot pairing produce somewhat lower color "resolution". A
guess is that the notable achievement of Applevision is animating a figure
in something like true 280 x 192 resolution on a color monitor.
