Rave 1.0 -------------------------------------------
RAVE! -- VGA/SVGA Kaleidoscope v1.0 for DOS
(c) 1995 J.A.Roeckelein [ash@indirect.com]
-------------------------------------------
This program generates and displays kaleidoscopic patterns with color
palette "cycling" on 80x86 class computers equipped with VGA or SVGA
graphics adapters and displays. In addition to the default automatic
mode, limited user interaction is available via the keyboard to
control various drawing parameters.
To run the program (and to obtain current instructions), type:
RAVE
...at the command line. Happy raving! -ash
PS: This program uses John Bridges' fine, freely available VGAKIT v5.2b
assembly language routines which provide the SVGA mode switching and
bank switching functions. Hopefully these routines support your
particular configuration, but it is possible that they may not. Sigh.
