ECHO VGASHOW was developed using the T-BASE library which is offered by
ECHO Videotex Systems. If you are a C, Clipper, FoxPro, Basic, dBase, Rbase,
ECHO or Paradox programmer, you can create your a vast range of imaging
ECHO applications using the T- BASE library.

ECHO /q quiet suppress - display file info on VGA screen (optional).
ECHO /c cycle continuously through the images (optional).
ECHO /o display pixel for pixel; default is to Fit To Screen (optional).
ECHO.
ECHO VGASHOW should auto-detect your graphics adapter. If not, use:
ECHO /sx where x is from 0 to 14 for the supported superVGA chips - see doc
ECHO /mx where x is from 0 to 99 for the supported video modes - see doc file
ECHO.
ECHO NOTES:

ECHO VGASHOW should autodetect your super VGA card if you have one. If it does not,
ECHO you can specify the card directly with the /Sx switch.
ECHO.
ECHO The /Sx switch is as follows, where x is a number from 0 to 14:
