This is version 1.7 of my vga library. It should contain the following files:

README
VIDLIB.H
VESA.H
VIDLIB.DOC
VESA.DOC
VIDEOF.LIB
DEMOS.ZIP       testvl.exe, vgaregs.exe, test.exe, vesainfo.exe, 
                l33.exe, l40.com, l28.com

VIDEOF.MAP      (Module map, from TLIB)
SRC_C.ZIP       (Turbo C++, compiled in ANSI mode)
SRC_ASM.ZIP     (Turbo ASM, should be MASM compatible)
MAKEFILE        (Turbo C++, ANSI mode)

Revision history:

v1.7     - Actually got the state save/restore to work. 
         - Fixed putstty's habit of not saving SI, which was killing register 
           variables.
         - Updated the header files to allow linking to TurboC++ compilers.
         - Rearranged VESA calls for clarity and consistency.

19 Jan 92
v1.6     - Added VGA state save & restore to Vinit() and Vclose(), so that
           entering these programs wouldn't stupidly reset the Video mode to
           25 lines upon exiting. 
         - Fixed the makefile to make it easier to compile with other 
           compilers.
         - Added MK_FP, FP_OFF, FP_SEG macro definitions for ANSI compilers.

6 Jan 92
v1.5       (The changes are so many I skipped a few numbers.)
         - The testing is more thorough in this version. 
         - There's more low-level (i.e. VGA register level) support. 
         - There's some good functions for VESA modes (although I still don't 
           support the 16 color VESA modes).
         - On the subject of 16 color modes, there's still no bitblt for the
           regular 16 color VGA modes. 
         - In the demos.zip file you'll find two new mode sets: a 33 line mode 
           that uses a modified EGA font (9x12), and a 40 line mode that uses 
           the CGA font, but in a 9x10 box. 

v1.1     - version 1.0 left some key object files out, and didn't have a
          readme file. It also used a different debug setup. The current
          debug routines can be turned off and on several times during a
          single execution.
