Hi folks,

  A bug fix release (XLIB04b) should now be available
    * in binary form from wuarchive.wustl.edu in pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS
        (temporarily)
    * nic.funet.fi in pub/msdos/games/programming (a little later in the week)
      nic being the permanent archive site.
    * in uuencoded form from me, IFF you have no FTP access

  To those who have been waiting, my apologies for the delay.

  For those new to this group XLIB is a high quality (in my opinion ;-),
  high performance graphics library for the VGA 256 colour tweaked modes.
  Most of the major graphics primitives are supported and the source code
  is provided FREE.

  The library is written for the Borland C family of languages and TASM.

  Themie Gouthas.

  PS. I like to keep reminding everyone that the success of this library is
    due to the support of a lot of people out there, especially Matthew
    Mackenzie. Again, thanks to everyone for their support and contributions.

           XCLIPPBM.*

           Modifications/Additions
           ------------------------
           Some minor fixes and modifications in xmain.asm
            fixed the split screen starting scan line problem

            This fix is a cludge - Sam Thompson has suggested a more
            elegant fix but I just dont have much time these days

            changed mode setting code to allow 320x200 mode to have same
             aspect ratio as mode 13h

           The clipped functions were modified to return 1 if the image being
            clipped was completely off the logical screen.
           Minor clipping bugs which gave inconsistent results when clipping
            to the left and right screen borders were fixed in the XPBMCLIP &
            VBMCLIP modules.
           A bug in demo 2 which caused crashing on 486 machines was also
           fixed. (The speed of the 486 resulted in 0 time delay which inturn
            caused a division by zero error)
