1. Supported Chipsets and Software
   -------------------------------
   This package provides transparent support for the ViRGE 325, ViRGE/DX
   375, ViRGE/GX 385 and ViRGE/VX 988 graphics controllers, as well as Asian
   language support for Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified),
   Korean and Thai/English editions of Windows 3.1.

2. Foreign Languages
   -----------------
   On-line hints are provided in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish,
   Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, Dutch, Russian and Korean
   for this release.

3. DCI and DirectDraw Support
   --------------------------
   Windows 3.1x DCI and Windows 95 DirectDraw 2.0 support are automatically
   installed along with the VCP by the Setup program.

4. Windows 95 QuickColor
   ---------------------
   This release incorporates our QuickColor code, which allows color
   depth to be changed on-the-fly under Windows 95. Since these techniques
   bypass the Win32 API and directly manipulate the GDI, we have taken a
   rather cautious approach to exception handling: if a QuickColor change
   fails, the display will default to 640x480 - a resolution supported
   under all hardware configurations and by all monitors. You will
   then have the option of restoring your original display settings.

5. Windows 95 Driver Compatibility
   -------------------------------
   The VCP has been tested and works transparently with Windows 95 drivers
   from both the chip vendor and Microsoft, including the original drivers
   shipped with Windows 95 as well as Microsoft's various updates included
   with DirectX 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0B.

6. Windows NT 3.5 and 4.0
   ----------------------
   Drivers for Windows NT 4.0 are provided in this package. Drivers for
   Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51 are available, but are not included in this
   package.
