- Dear User,
-
- Print VPIC.TXT using 17 chars/inch and 8 lines/inch to get a handy one page
- quick reference guide for VPIC. See VPIC.DOC revision history for what's new.
-
- The CONFIG program allows you to configure VPIC from a menu. Just make sure
- VPIC.EXE, CVPIC.EXE, CONFIG.EXE, and all the configuration files (.cfg
- extension) are in the current directory. Then enter CONFIG and you will get a
- menu (similar to the VPIC menu) of all the configuration files. The menu also
- lists the contents of the currently highlighted file. You can move thru the list
- of files using the cursor keys, or by pressing a letter key jump to the next
- filename starting with that letter (or number). Just look for a file which
- matches the parameters for your board (from your display board manual), and
- press ENTER to configure VPIC using that configuration file. ESCape ends the
- CONFIG program without configuring VPIC. If none of the supplied files match
- your board, copy the closest one to a new filename (with extension .cfg) and use
- a text editor to modify it to your boards requirements. See CONFIG.DOC for a
- list of supported VGA chips and a typical board on which it is used.
-
- The WHICHVGA program will try to identify your VGA chip and the amount of
- display memory you have. It isn't foolproof, but works most of the time.
-
- See CONFIG.DOC for a comprehensive explanation of the configuration process and
- .cfg file format. See VPIC.DOC for all the other features of VPIC.
-
- Mouse support was just added for the menu, so there may be a few bugs which
- crept in. I try to test all the features of vpic before releasing it, but I may
- have missed a few things. If you find any bugs, please drop me a note to let me
- know about them; this is how they get corrected, and keep VPIC working smoothly.
-
- The WAIT program is meant for batch file use with VPIC /r, and waits a specified
- number of seconds or until a key is pressed between images. For example, a batch
- file might be:
- vpic /r file1
- wait 10
- vpic /r file2
- etc.
-
- Enjoy,
- Bob Montgomery
