All remaining changes are now tracked on the web. Public changes are tracked at the following URL: http://www.scitechsoft.com/sdd2_changes.txt What is SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2? SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 brings SciTech's proven DOS and Windows device support technologies to the OS/2 Operating System. Although one of the core features of our DOS and Windows products is the support for the VESA VBE/Core standard, the OS/2 version has nothing at all to do with VESA services. Rather SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 incorporates the new SciTech Nucleus, Graphics Architecture device driver technology to bring SciTech's device support to the OS/2 platform. SciTech Nucleus is a binary portable, OS neutral, device driver architecture. As binary portable drivers, SciTech can fully develop and test the core device drivers in the DOS and Windows environments, while being able to target any Intel x86 based OS as the runtime environment (such as OS/2). This essentially allows the OS/2 product to utilise the same SciTech binary device drivers as the DOS and Windows versions of the product, improving the quality and performance of the drivers for all supported operating systems. Runtime Requirements SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 requires a version of OS/2 Warp 3 or OS/2 Warp 4 in order to run. More imporantly, it requires at least Warp 3 with fixpack 35, or Warp 4 with fixpack 5 installed. If you have a version with earlier fixpacks installed, SciTech Display Doctor will refuse to install. List of all certified chipsets: This is a complete list of the various graphics chipsets that have been certified to work correctly with this version of SciTech Display Doctor. Please note that this list refers to the actual chips being used, not a board-level implementation. Thus you will not see any products from Hercules or STB on the list, but their products are supported because they use S3, Cirrus, Tseng, etc. chips. Also, any card with less than 512KB of memory cannot be supported by SciTech Display Doctor. Note: Please check the separate list of supported laptop chipsets for more information if you are using this product on a laptop. All laptop chipsets are still listed here as many laptop chipset can also be used in regular PCI/AGP boards. . 3DLabs Permedia, Permedia 2, Permedia 2V . 3dfx Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3 .

NVIDIA ide ratio of ",$ratio-1,":1 you can fly $distance from $height\n"; sub howfar { my ($height,$ratio)=at_; my $distance; $height =int($height/$cnv1); $distance=int($height*$ratio/1000); # output result in kilometres not metres } First change -- $distance is declared with my . Secondly, the result of the subroutine is assigned to a variable, which is also named $distance. However, it is a $distance in a different namespace. Remember the two gardens. You may wish to delete the $distance= from the first assignment and re-run the code. The only other change is one to change the output from meters to kilometres.

We have now achieved a sort of Black Box effect, where the subroutine is given input and creates output. We pass the subroutine two numbers, which may or may not be variables. We assign the output of the subroutine to a variable. We care not what chipsets that have native drivers developed for SciTech Display Doctor, but have yet to be completed and pass certification. The drivers should work relatively well, but as they have not been fully certified problems could arise if you use one of these chipsets.
