I have uploaded the newest version of my SuperVGA driver to
grape.ecs.clarkson.edu, directory /incoming, file svgabgi.zip.

This is version 1.5 which fixed many bugs in the previous version (1.21)
and also added a few more features.

  o Added 1024x768x256 color support for the Tseng ET4000 chipset.
  o Added Oak Technologies VGA support.
  o Getimage/putimage can now use bitmaps larger than 64k.
  o textwidth/textheight return correct values.
  o Text output is faster.

The driver should now work on all cards. The previous version had a few
quirks that caused initialization to fail on some cards.

If you have an earlier version of the driver, I encourage you to download
this new version.

  Again, if you have any problems/comments/etc, let me know.
