Dear User,

Print VPIC.TXT using 17 chars/inch and 8 lines/inch to get a handy one page
quick reference guide for VPIC. See VPIC.DOC revision history for what's new.

The CONFIG program allows you to configure VPIC from a menu. Just make sure
VPIC.EXE, CVPIC.EXE, CONFIG.EXE, and all the configuration files (.cfg
extension) are in the current directory. Then enter CONFIG and you will get a
menu (similar to the VPIC menu) of all the configuration files. The menu also
lists the contents of the currently highlighted file. You can move thru the list
of files using the cursor keys, or by pressing a letter key jump to the next
filename starting with that letter (or number). Just look for a file which
matches the parameters for your board (from your display board manual), and
press ENTER to configure VPIC using that configuration file. ESCape ends the
CONFIG program without configuring VPIC. If none of the supplied files match
your board, copy the closest one to a new filename (with extension .cfg) and use
a text editor to modify it to your boards requirements. See CONFIG.DOC for a
list of supported VGA chips and a typical board on which it is used.

The WHICHVGA program will try to identify your VGA chip and the amount of
display memory you have. It isn't foolproof, but works most of the time.

See CONFIG.DOC for a comprehensive explanation of the configuration process and
.cfg file format. See VPIC.DOC for all the other features of VPIC.

Mouse support was just added for the menu, so there may be a few bugs which
crept in. I try to test all the features of vpic before releasing it, but I may
have missed a few things. If you find any bugs, please drop me a note to let me
know about them; this is how they get corrected, and keep VPIC working smoothly.

The WAIT program is meant for batch file use with VPIC /r, and waits a specified
number of seconds or until a key is pressed between images. For example, a batch
file might be:
    vpic /r file1
    wait 10
    vpic /r file2
    etc.

                                                        Enjoy,
                                                        Bob Montgomery
