  1. MOSQUITO is a simple app to demonstrate the use of overlays in DirectDraw.
  2. To run the app you must have a display adapter and driver which support
  3. overlays.
  4.  
  5. On a machine with overlay support, the app creates a big flapping mosquito
  6. which flys around the screen.   If you're card doesn't support "Source Color
  7. Keying" of overlays, you'll see an ugly black rectangular background around
  8. the mosquito.
  9.  
  10. Some cards have better overlay support in certain resolutions that others.
  11. If you know your card has overlay support through DirectDraw, but Mosquito
  12. is having problems creating or displaying the overlay, try running the
  13. application in a lower screen resolution and/or color depth.
