- Revision history:
- -------------------------------------
- 25 Jan 92
- v1.7 - Actually got the state save/restore to work.
- - Fixed putstty's habit of not saving SI, which was killing register
- variables.
- - Updated the header files to allow linking to TurboC++ compilers.
- - Rearranged VESA calls for clarity and consistency.
-
- 19 Jan 92
- v1.6 - Added VGA state save & restore to Vinit() and Vclose(), so that
- entering these programs wouldn't stupidly reset the Video mode to
- 25 lines upon exiting.
- - Fixed the makefile to make it easier to compile with other
- compilers.
- - Added MK_FP, FP_OFF, FP_SEG macro definitions for ANSI compilers.
-
- 6 Jan 92
- v1.5 (The changes are so many I skipped a few numbers.)
- - The testing is more thorough in this version.
- - There's more low-level (i.e. VGA register level) support.
- - There's some good functions for VESA modes (although I still don't
- support the 16 color VESA modes).
- - On the subject of 16 color modes, there's still no bitblt for the
- regular 16 color VGA modes.
- - In the demos.zip file you'll find two new mode sets: a 33 line mode
- that uses a modified EGA font (9x12), and a 40 line mode that uses
- the CGA font, but in a 9x10 box.
-
- v1.1 - version 1.0 left some key object files out, and didn't have a
- readme file. It also used a different debug setup. The current
- debug routines can be turned off and on several times during a
- single execution.
