EXTRASCR.TPx version 1.20, release as of May, 1993
--------------------------------------------------
Major changes since revision 1.00 are:
--------------------------------------
(1) Full protected mode support with 386(sx)-class-machines and above.
Compatible protected mode support for 286-class-machines, problems
with 'forgotten' mouse cursors might occur.
We recommend using protected mode WITH enhanced video modes only
on 386(sx)-class-machines.
Protected mode works fine in both Borland's and MS-WINDOWS'
Dos Protected Mode.
(2) EGA/VGA 80x43/50 video mode included in mode selection box.
Version 1.00 just didn't show up the mode selection box if no
driver file was found.
We recommend having an empty driver file (BUILTIN.DRV is provided)
in order to still be able to select EGA/VGA modes.
(3) Solved mutually-exclusive problems.
Version 1.00 sometimes kind of 'forgot' the mouse cursor on the
screen while in enhanced screen modes.
We fully solved this problem with 386(sx)-class-machines and
above, and we diminished the occurence of those conflicts on
286 and lower.
(4) Got rid of GPF's (general protection faults) in protected mode
version caused by some interrupt services not provided by
Borland's or Microsoft's Dos Protected Mode Interface's.
The way the mouse cursor is drawn in real mode is completely
different from the one in protected mode.
The different mouse-status-buffer scanning tecniques used in
version 1.00 are no longer necessary.
(5) Got rid of some minor bugs.
Please read the documentation file for more information.
