                            VVESA.COM

        VVESA.COM  is a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program. It  is
        ATI's implementation of the VESA Super VGA Standard V2.1(VS891001).

        VVESA  is not a driver. It is a program which enables your  video
        board  to  be used with VESA compatible  software.  Consult  your
        software manual or your software manufacturer's Technical Support
        to see if a VESA driver is available for your software.

        Install  your software for VESA Super VGA. Then run VVESA  before
        running  your  VESA compatible software. If you prefer,  a  batch
        file  can be written to invoke VVESA and then your software.  The
        resident portion of VVESA consumes only 2256 bytes of memory.  To
        unload VVESA from memory, type VVESA OFF.

        The following VESA modes are supported:

             MODE      RESOLUTION        256K      512K      MEMORY
