UniVBE(tm) - The Universal VESA VBE
-----------------------------------
Version 5.0
18 August 1994
The Universal VESA VBE is a small Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program
that extends the video BIOS of SuperVGA video cards to make them compatible
with the Video Electonics Standards Association (VESA) recommended
Video BIOS Extensions (VBE).
By having a video card that has a VESA VBE compatible BIOS, or by installing
this small TSR, programs that support the VESA VBE programming interface will
work correctly for your SuperVGA. This helps to solve a lot of problems with
compatability between different SuperVGA cards on the market. Note that this
program will not take advantage of any of the acceleration features that your
video card may provide.
Printing the documentation
--------------------------
If you have a word processing program such as Microsoft Word for Windows
or WordPerfect, you can load the 'Rich Text Format' version of the UniVBE/Pro
documentation called UNIVBE.RTF into your word processor and print out a
proper typeset manual for UniVBE/Pro. Alternatively you can read the plain
ASCII text version of the documentation (UNIVBE.DOC) online, or print it
to any plain ASCII text printer.
Where to get the latest version
-------------------------------
You can probably download the latest shareware version of the package from
your local BBS, or you via the internet using ftp from Simtel20 or garbo (and
their mirrors):
oak.oakland.edu: pub/msdos/graphics/univbe??.zip
garbo.uwasa.fi: pc/graphics/univbe??.zip
If you have access to CompuServe, you can download the file from the
IBMPRO VESA file library (12) as the file uvbe??.zip (CompuServe has
restrictive file naming conventions).
