Introduction
============

The enclosed TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program adds VBE (VESA
BIOS Extensions) 2.0 support to the Stingray 128/3D. This allows VBE
2.0 compliant games and other applications to use higher resolution
display modes that may not otherwise be available. Please consult the
documentation of your game or application for instructions on enabling
these higher resolutions within the application.

Files included in this release:

    S430B07.COM    --VESA BIOS Extensions TSR
    README.TXT     --this file



Installation
============

Copy  S430B07.COM to any directory on your hard drive, change to that
directory, and type

S430B07

at the DOS prompt to install VBE 2.0 support in memory. The TSR may
also be placed in the AUTOEXEC.BAT to provide VBE 2.0 support auto-
matically at system startup.



Known Limitations
=================

1.  A four-second delay occurs after the BIOS message is displayed.

2.  DOS text font size and spacing is irregular.
