Product Information
-------------------
Universal VESA VBE
The Universal VESA VBE is a small Terminate and Stay Resident
program (TSR) for MSDOS that provides the VESA Video BIOS
Extensions (VBE) for most SuperVGA cards on the market. It
provides the latest VESA VBE standard so you can be sure your
favorite programs will work correctly. Programs like Microsoft
Flight Simulator 5 require that something like this be
installed to obtain the highest performance possible.
It also comes with a special 'paranoid' test program, for
fully stress testing all VESA VBE interface implementations to
ensure that they fully conform to the latest standards.
Universal VESA VBE Source Code
Full source code for the above program. In order to be able to
compile this you will need to have the Borland C++ 3.1 or
later compiler for MSDOS. When you order this you will also
recieve the source for the SuperVGA test kit library.
Miscellaneous freeware
The miscellaneous freeware disk contains a number of freely
available tools developed by the people at SciTech Software
over the years. They are supplied as is, without any warranty
and are not supported, but come supplied with full source
code. The tools included on the disk are:
SuperVGA Kit
------------
A small set of test programs and libraries for programming
SuperVGA cards in 16,256,32k,64k and 16 million color modes
using the VESA VBE programming interface. Comes with a simple
library showing how to interface with the VESA VBE from C and
C++ programs. It also includes the full source code for the
'paranoid' VESA VBE stress test program.
C Tools
-------
A set of tools for working with data structures and other
things in ANSI C. This library was written a long time ago and
has since been converted in the Techniques Class Library
described above. Useful if you still write code in ANSI C.
Trans
-----
A fast text file translation program for converting text files
between DOS and Unix formats and expanding tabs to spaces.
Comes with makefiles to for both DOS and Unix environments.

Makefile Utilities
------------------
A number of simple utility programs for simplifying the work
required to use the make program to create libraries and
integrate with RCS. Works with Borland C++ make.
The Zen Timer Library
---------------------
This is a 'C' callable library for timing code fragments with
an accuracy of better than 10 microseconds under the MSDOS
operating system. The code was originally written by Michael
Abrash for his book "Zen of Assembly language - Volume I,
Knowledge" and was made into a 'C' callable library with a set
of C++ wrapper classes.
