** NOTES **
-- PutImage: the following are supported: COPY_PUT, OR_PUT, XOR_PUT, AND_PUT
NOT_PUT does not do a NOT!
NOT_PUT has been changed to do a modified COPY_PUT. It will
copy all the bits in an image that are not 0 (zero). Bits that
are zero will not be written to the screen. This facilitates
displaying an image, say of a ball, and not having to worry
about the corners of the putimage box.
Typically you would have to use NOT_PUT to create a bit mask
of the bits not to effect on the screen. Let us know if you
like this method of circumventing extra calls to getimage and
putimage.

-- Mode 3 (360x480) trash:
You may notice some horizontal trash or noise in this mode on
certain VGA cards, most notably the video 7 vram card. Video
7 provides a utility called: V7VGA.COM that will set the vga
card into "PURE" mode. This forces that card to register
compatable VGA mode and will remove the trash.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
