GUS Tested Programs Compatability List V1.05 Jan 26, 1993

Send updates to rdippold@qualcomm.com.

This is a list of compatibility settings for the Gravis Ultrasound card.
I have not personally verified all of these, most of them are submitted to
me by other GUS owners.  Your results may vary.  Nor is this a list of
all programs that will run with the GUS - this is just a list of those
that have been tested by those who sent me mail.  It is for the
purpose of helping GUS owners run a program without hunting for the
appropriate options.

If the switches listed don't work, try removing EVERYTHING from your
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.  These settings worked for someone,
and memory managers and other device drivers seem to be the main culprits
when something doesn't work.

The "Version" indicates the version of SBOS that the program was tested
with.  1.23 is a new beta from Gravis.

Please note the "Most Wanted" section at the bottom of programs which
just don't seem to want to work.  Please check all 16 combinations of
settings ( -o= none, 1, 2, 3 and -x= none, 1, 2, 3) before submitting it
as a "won't work."

Things are now arranged in a hierarchical fashion.  If you manage to 
"promote" anything up the hierarchy, please let me know ASAP.   Ditto if
you notice a problem with a game running with an old version of SBOS that
no longer occurs with a new version.
