I cannot get VIC to select PAL mode. Man vic has text

       Adjacent to the quality slider are two pull-down menu but-
       tons.   The ``Port'' button selects among the analog input
       jacks to the capture device (for example, a  VideoPix  has
       two  composite inputs and an S-Video input).  The ``Type''
       button selects the analog video types,  which  is  one  of
       auto,  NTSC, PAL, or SECAM.  The ``auto'' setting attempts
       to determine the signal type from the actual  input  (pro-
       vided the hardware supports this).


Yes, there is Port button (Matrox/Spigot). I cannot see a Type button. I am 
88.8% sure vic is using NTSC capture not PAL form MatroxMeteor.
The Size popup in the video window does not change the mode. I cannot find 
any button/popup/option to force vic to PAL mode.

Using vic binary from Jims ftp address, that is vic-2.7a36, should I try 
to recompile it?

Tryed ... Jim, you sould use relatice path names ;-) ... Where is -lspigot?
