- 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

- 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.
