This is a free implementation of the VBE/AF graphics driver API, which provides high performance 2d hardware acceleration for any programs that support these drivers (eg. anything that uses Allegro or the SciTech MGL). New in this version: Michal Stencl added a hardware accelerated blit routine and truecolor support to the S3 driver. Fixed a buffer overflow problem with some VESA drivers that return larger info structures than they really should be. See the website for a complete list of supported hardware. -- Shawn Hargreaves - shawn AT talula DOT demon DOT co DOT uk - http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/ "A binary is barely software: it's more like hardware on a floppy disk."
