Files included in the Everex VESA Developer's Toolkit:

	README.DOC	- This file
	VESA.DOC	- A complete specification of the VESA Super VGA
			  BIOS Extension v1.0
	VESA.COM	- A memory resident program which implements 
			  VESA Super VGA BIOS Extension v1.0 on the
			  Everex EVGA (Ev673), Viewpoint VGA (Ev678),
			  Ultragraphics II VGA (Ev236), and future
			  Everex VGA cards.  The resident portion is
			  approximately 2.5K in size.  Starting with
			  v1.02, it also supports Everex EGA adapters,
			  although some VESA-aware applications may not
			  support EGA adapters.
	TESTVESA.PAS	- An example program that checks to see if VESA
			  support is present and then gets information
			  regarding modes supported and their formats.
	VESAMODE.PAS	- An example program that sets a specified
			  standard VGA, OEM, or VESA-defined mode.
	VESABOX.PAS	- A simple (and not completely implemented)
			  example program that finds out the current
			  video mode and then proceeds to draw a box
			  around the perimeter of the screen using
			  pixels or line draw characters, depending on
			  the memory organization.
	SAVEVESA.PAS	- An example program which uses the VESA
			  Save/Restore Video State function to save
			  and restore the video state.
	VESAPCX.PAS	- Simple PCX image file decoder which displays
			  4 and 8-bit images using VESA functions.
	VESAOFF.COM	- Simple program which disables the VESA functions,
			  in case the user wishes to temporarily disable
			  VESA functionality.
	VESAON.COM	- Simple program which enables the VESA TSR,
			  in case the user has temporarily disabled
			  VESA functionality using VESAOFF.COM.
	VESA05.*	- Official machine-readable VESA specification 
			  document in straight ASCII and MS Word file 
			  formats.
