Hi again, it's that guy that had problems with his SVGA. Thanks for all
your help ... with it, I was pointed in the right direction ...

As it turns out the problem was my ATI card, as I suspected. (When we
bought this computer, we were assured that the ATI card was the 'best'
... ack.) I did a bit of checking, and it seems that UniVBE works with
basically every video card EXCEPT cards based on the Mach64 chip ...
guess what chip my video card uses? :)

So I went to the ATI site and downloaded their VESA driver for my card,
and now SVGA works perfectly when I use the 'use_vesa' command! Success!
pleased

Anyways. Just posting in case someone else has been having these same
sorts of problems. Bye!

PS. Someone was asking for my 'impressions' of the Euphoria language in
general ... well, I may have overstated my experience with programming a
tad ... basically, I learned Basic quite a few years ago, was forced to
learn Turing (don't ask), learned ZZT and Megazeux (game creation
systems with built-in programming langs pleased) and did a bit of C before
discovering Euphoria. So ... my opinion probably isn't worth much yet.
Sorry for the long, rambling message, I have a tendancy to do that. ;)
