- Seamless means that a Windows program can run directly on the WPS desktop
- -- this requires a seamless video driver. Otherwise, without the seamless
- driver, you can run a Windows app on a Windows desktop which is inside a
- DOS window on the WPS desktop. (Of course, a Windows app can always be run
- Full-Screen, with or without a seamless driver)

- Or ET4000 or ATI or IBMVGA256c or Paradise or Video7. See the file
- tri32new.zip in /pub/os2/2.0/drivers (I think) at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu,
- as well as the OS/2 FAQ List 2.0i (the Great TFS added some SVGA info).
- I have a WD Paradise WD90C31 video chip and I now have 1024x768x256
- drivers for WPS, Win-OS/2, and seamless.

- Follow-up to comp.os.os2.setup ... er, I mean, comp.os.os2.misc .
