Summary: Code for bank switching on SuperVGA systems.

Hi there,
		 I have just released the first version of the SuperVGA test
kit library. This library contains full source code for the auto detection,
bank switching and extended page flipping code used in the MGL. It also
contains two test programs, one for 16 color modes and one for 256 color
modes to test the routines.

The MegaGraph Graphics Library (MGL) is a new high performance 2d graphics
library that I will be releasing in the very near future (when full SuperVGA
support is complete).

The library contains support for auto detection, bank switching and 
extended page flipping on supported SuperVGA's. It also supports separate
read/write banks on supported SuperVGA's.

You can ftp it from the following address:

	godzilla.cgl.rmit.oz.au (131.170.14.2)

as the file:

	~ftp/kjb/MGL/svgakt10.zip

I will also be uploading the file to Simtel20 and garbo in the next few
days.

I would appreciate it if people could run the two demos programs on their
system and let me know how it goes. If the demos play up on your system, or
you have information about your particular video board that is in the library
also let me know.

I would appreciate it if people could fill in the following form and mail it
back to me.
