- 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.

- 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)
