- A number of VESA video drivers are packed into the self-extracting file
- VESA.EXE. Type "VESA" at the DOS command line to unpack the drivers into
- their own directories.
-
- These directories contain terminate and stay resident (TSR) versions of
- most Super VGA card's VESA BIOS Extensions implementations. The TSRs
- have been placed in the public domain by the various graphics card
- manufacturers. They may be freely copied and distributed.
-
- There is no way for us to insure that these are the latest drivers from
- the various graphic card companies. We take no responsibility for the
- drivers and make absolutely no warranties as to their use. The safest
- option is to obtain the appropriate Vesa driver directly from your
- graphics card manufacturer.
-
- We will say that if you have a HiColor graphics card, then the Tseng
- driver is one that you might try after trying the driver for your
- specific graphics card. If the video chips for your graphics card were
- made by Chips & Technologies, then you may want to try the driver
- provided by Chips & Technologies in addition to a driver which was made
- for your graphics card. If your video card is based on the Western
- Digital 24 bit chipset, you may want to try the vesa driver from Western
- Digital in DIAMOND2.ZIP which supports the Diamond 24X.
-
- Once you have find the driver for your adapter, simply put it into your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT and all VESA-aware programs will be benefit from it.
-
- This collection of graphics card VESA drivers is provided without charge
- or support, and is only provided for your convenience. NO WARRANTIES ARE
- APPLICABLE.

- About the Butterfly virus
- =========================
-
- It is unfortunate that the previous distribution of
-
- TM411-4.ZIP
- GIFLK110.ZIP
- GIFLK111.ZIP
-
- contains a self-extracting VESA.EXE. Inside the VESA.EXE,
-
- OAK\37VESA.COM
- OAK\67VESA.COM
-
- are infected by a new "Butterfly" virus. If you see any of the ZIP files
- in a BBS, please ask the sysop to remove the files immediately. The files
- have since been replaced by
-
- TM411-4A.ZIP
- GIFLK112.ZIP
-
- The virus is not found to be dangerous. It is based on the Civil War
- Virus. It is only infects .COM files increasing length by 302 bytes. The
- virus is 307 bytes long. On execution of an infected program the virus
- will search for and infect the next .COM file in the directory list.
-
- The virus can be detected by
-
- F-Prot 2.08a in heuristic and quick scan modes
- ThunderByte anti-virus 6.02
- Norton anti-virus 2.1 (21A08def)
- Virex 2.9
-
- ThunderByte and Norton anti-virus can disinflect the files. F-Prot is
- working on a removal program. Unforetunately, McAFEE SCAN 106 DOES NOT
- detect the virus but McAREE said SCAN 107 will be able to detect it.
-
- To ensure this distribution is virus-free, we scan all the files with
- five independent anti-virus softwares, namely
-
- McAfee SCAN 106
- F-Prot 2.08a
- ThunderByte anti-virus 6.03
- InVircible anti-virus 5.01
- Virex 2.9
- Microsoft anti-virus
