subject: Need more DIVE info

Hi,

As you probably know by now, the major dive changes where shipped with OS/2
performance betaII. These changes render all old dive code useless, and the
new method has no backward compatiability with OS/2 v2.0,2.1,2.11 

Bit of a bummer.

The reason I read the color directly from th3 VGA registers was because I
also used dLib for fullscreen access, where GpiQueryRealColors wasn't
available.

I've written a new dlib that co-operates with new DIVE extension if
available, otherwise it uses the old direct (SMVDD.SYS) method.

Cheers,

PS. I'm New Zealand so this mail will take days and days to reach you.
