IBRARY 3.0, 11/06/94:

This is the final release of IBRARY. It will remain available
for some time, though, as a part of a massive software bundle
with no change in price! See the ORDER.FRM file for details.

The printed manual is no longer available.



IBRARY 2.0, 02/28/94:

This release adds scores of new routines, a new demo, and a
printed manual for registered owners. It features a complete
set of DOS directory and file handling services, control over
the cursor size and visibility, keyboard toggles, text screen
save/restore, convenient memory access, delays, new equipment
detection routines, and other goodies. More than 200 routines
in all!

All IBRARY routines which access the disk include built-in
critical error handling, so's to avoid having that nasty
"A>bort, R>etry, I>gnore, F>ail" prompt interrupt your
programs. Instead, critical errors cause an appropriate error
code to be returned, so you can process them normally.



IBRARY 1.0, 04/23/93:

This is the initial release of the IBRARY library for ASIC,
with over 135 routines featuring DOS/ANSI console output,
graphics (modes 8, 11, 12, 13, N0, N1), time/date setting,
mouse support, joystick support, get/set VGA palette, bit
shifts and rotates, equipment information, STR$ without
leading blanks, access to BIOS and DOS interrupts, more.

Graphics modes N0 and N1 are nonstandard video modes which
provide for up to 360x480 in 256 colors on any standard VGA
or better setup.
