ForceVGA is written as a commoditie, so it should belong to your WBStartUp-
drawer and will be started and used as any other commoditie.
ForceVGA patches OpenScreen and OpenScreenTagList, to open most screens
in VGA mode. Using Exchange you can disable ForceVGA, which will restore
the old routines.
ForceVGA sets the AutoScroll flag and is using the NewLok for Screens, due to
using the SA_Pens Tag.
Due to the VGA-mode, non-interlace PAL and NTSC screens will only fill the upper
half of the screen.
Sorry, I cannot include the sources yet, because I am not allowed to own
the 3.0 AutoDocs and Includes ;-) (Hello CATS, we need them !!!!!)
History :
V1.0 ForceVGA is based on ForceNTSC
V2.0 Initial Release on Oct 23 1992
