** Please check this file before downloading to determine what will you need
** for this file to work.
** Please read the disclaimer before using this code.
**
** This file has to be compiled with SVGALIB System from a project file.
** SVGALIB.LIB is contained SVGACC25.ZIP
** Please check these files in the C MS-DOS archives in SimTelnet or Garbo.
**
** Do copy the "svgacc.h" and "svgademo.h" into your c compiler "include" directory
**
** if you want to use another VGA system. Please change
** all the function referal to SVGALIB system to your own.
** But just make sure the VGA system displays 256 color for you
** to access 256 color bitmap.
**
** You have to use project file, in order to access the library  
** function in svgalib.lib. Please read your compiler
** documentation for using project file.
