This file contains information about product features that are
new or changed with this version.
Here is a summary of modifications for this version of PC-FasType/VGA:
For this release, there is just some bug fixes and minor cosmetic
changes.
Our previous version introduced "SyncChek", a new
"synchronization checker"; built-in to the advanced exercises. While
typing word groups and/or sentences, it's very easy for your typing to
get "out-of-sync" with the cursor that travels under the letters you
are supposed to type. You may be either one character behind, or one
character ahead. "SyncChek" will detect that condition and put you
right back on track. The number of typing errors will register as
two. Remember, you can always hit backspace and correct the flagged
errors.
PC-FasType VERSION HISTORY:
PC-FasType/VGA Ver. 1.2 (this version)
Minor bug fixes and cosmetic changes.
VESA problem fixed. VESA support caused system hangups on
PC's with video cards using the Western Digital 90C30 or

the Diamond Speedstar are based on these chips. Since
PC-FasType/VGA didn't need VESA, support was dropped.
