Note: you can also use UniVBE, an excellent shareware video driver, to
get a VBE 2.0 compatible video driver. As Cliff says, this will give
you a huge speed win. You can ftp it either from ftp.scitechsoft.com
(SciTech makes UniVBE) or from ftp.ardi.com. The latest version is
called `uvbe51a.zip'.
If you find UniVBE useful, we recommend that you pay the shareware fee
to the folks who make it.
