   MPEGEXE.ZIP contains the Windows 3.1 software allowing users
with any brand of SVGA card supporting a minimum resolution of
640x480x256 to view MPEG animations.
   If there is a DLL file written for your SVGA card (ATI, Cirrus,
Compaq, S3, Trident 8900, Tseng Et4000, Video 7, Western Digital),
download MPEGEXE.ZIP and the ZIP file for your SVGA card (filename
is mdll???.zip, with the ??? indicating your SVGA dll, for example,
mdllati.zip is for ati).  Unzip the mpegexe software into a subdir
on your hard drive, perhaps \mpeg.  Unzip the DLL archive into a
temp subdir, then move only the *.DLL files to your \windows\system
subdir.  Boot Windows.  Run MFW.EXE.  Click on "View," "Video
Driver," and then select the SVGA card you have the DLLs for.
Click on that card in the list.  Make sure you have the DLLs in
your \windows\system subdirectory!  Then click on "Preferences" and
save your settings.
   If your SVGA card has no specially written DLL, download
MPEGEXE.ZIP and MDLLATI.ZIP.  Install as above, but after running
MFW.EXE click on "View," and then "Use DIB," and then
"Preferences," and finally "Save Settings/path."  Confirm query and
the software will be installed.

MDLLATI.ZIP is a specially written DLL file written for ATI VGA
Wonder XL SVGA cards in order to improve MPEG performance.  It is
also recommended to get this file if you see no DLL written for
your SVGA card, as this will allow you to run MFW and change the
View mode to "Use DIB," after which the program uses Windows's DIB
interface to display MPEG graphics.  The DLL files are still
required, they just serve as a "dummy/decoy"; the mfw.exe program
needs to see the DLLs in \windows\system, even if it does use the
DIB interface.

===

MDLLCIR.ZIP is a specially written DLL file for Cirrus-chipset based
SVGA cards in 640x480 resolution.  Using this special DLL instead
of the Windows DIB interface will improve performance by a
respectable amount, though Windows DIB performance is still very
acceptable.

===

MDLLCPQ.ZIP is a specially written DLL file for Compaq Q-Vision
chipset based SVGA cards.  Using this special DLL instead of the
Windows DIB interface will improve performance by a respectable
amount, though Windows DIB performance is still very acceptable.

===

MDLLCR8.ZIP is a specially written DLL file for Cirrus
chipset-based SVGA cards in  800x600 resolution.  Using this
special DLL instead of the Windows DIB interface will improve
performance by a respectable amount, though Windows DIB performance
is still very acceptable.

===

MDLLS3.ZIP is a specially written DLL file for S3 chipset-based
SVGA cards.  Using this special DLL instead of the Windows DIB
interface will improve performance by a respectable amount, though
Windows DIB performance is still very acceptable.

===

MDLLS3H.ZIP is a specially written DLL file for S3 chipset-based
SVGA cards supporting 64,000 colors.  Using this special DLL instead
of the Windows DIB interface will improve performance by a
respectable amount, though Windows DIB performance is still very
acceptable.

===

MDLLS38.ZIP is a specially written DLL file for S3-805 chipset-based
SVGA cards supporting 256 colors.  Using this special DLL instead
of the Windows DIB interface will improve performance by a
respectable amount, though Windows DIB performance is still very
acceptable.

===

MDLLTRI.ZIP is a specially written DLL file for Trident
8900-chipset-based SVGA cards.  Using this special DLL instead of
the Windows DIB interface will improve performance by a respectable
amount, though Windows DIB performance is still very acceptable.

===

MDLLTSG.ZIP is a specially written DLL file for Tseng ET-4000
chipset-based SVGA cards.  Using this special DLL instead of the
Windows DIB interface will improve performance by a respectable
amount, though Windows DIB performance is still very acceptable.

===

MDLLV7.ZIP is a specially written DLL file for Video-7
chipset-based SVGA cards.  Using this special DLL instead of the
Windows DIB interface will improve performance by a respectable
amount, though Windows DIB performance is still very acceptable.

===

MDLLWD.ZIP is a specially written DLL file for Western Digital
chipset-based SVGA cards.  Using this special DLL instead of the
Windows DIB interface will improve performance by a respectable
amount, though Windows DIB performance is still very acceptable.
