- Time out. Using dpsinstl.exe is *not* "the only way to get it to work."
- And 800x600x256 is quicker in some areas (graphics) and slower in others
- (text scrolling).
-
- If you have an ET4000, it is better to use Selective Install,
- rather than dspinstl.exe, you get the correct fonts.
-
- And the palette in seamless will be "wrong" if you have a BMP as a
- background in full-screen WinOS2. This depends on the BMP palette, since
- I have used the winlogo.bmp as a background, and the OS/2 palette is
- unaffected.
