The OS/2 Flash Graphics library doesn't support Super VGA.  It is possible
to do directly access the I/O ports however.  You create a module that is
stated to have I/O privledges in the .DEF file.  See your OS/2 documentation
for details.  Or buy the source code to FG.

It is Zortech's intent to support 32 bit OS/2.  The release date is not
available at this time.  What is Borland's release date?  We'll try to 
beat it!  :-]  Do they have a 32 bit compiler running yet?  Zortech's has 
been out since January...

Not yet.  Send email to fg@proto.com (an alias for me) for detailed 
information on FG such as this.  It varies depending on whether you are 
talking OS/2 or UNIX (EGA/VGA mostly) or DOS and extended DOS (extensive --
including Super VGA and TIGA).
