#VESA Blues / Help
Thanks very much for the information about the VESA driver and about PLAY.
I will give both a try. It is really helpful to have help from people who
have a lot of experience like is found on this forum. Thanks very much.
I stil don't exactly understand whether it will be practical to expect
people who might receive a "demo" FLC from me to have the a VGA board with
enough memory to be able to run the FLC. I have been trying to get some
things to run on a Toshiba 3100sx which uses Paradise chips but it does not
have enough video
ram to run in anything but 320×200. It would really be nice to have a
version of ANI-PRO which would run at 640×480 with say on 16 colors. This
might be something that could run on many systems. Very few (none that I
know of) portables or standard systems come with more than about 256K of
video RAM. Yet I receive demos from companies and run other graphics
programs in 640×480 with no problem on a 256K RAM machine. Perhaps they
only run with 16 colors but so what at least they are useful to more than
just a precious few people.
I too thought ANI-PRO would be a perfect way to do what I want. But at this
point the requirement for heavy duty VGA is still somewhat of a potential
problem when it comes to distribution of the FLC's.
Thanks again! Bob J.
