Version history

Release 1.4 beta 5 → Release 1.4 FINAL (5.073), released 07/05/98

Wow! I haven't worked on this for a year!

• FINAL release of VGAPaint 386.
• VPSTAT command removed; it was causing crashes with VETools.
  Maybe I'll fix it another time.
• Virus checks removed.
• Easter egg support pared; I don't think anyone cared, anyway.
  Boy, I removed a lot of stuff, didn't I?
• PMODE/W executable now included in main archive, not separately, as a stub program that "self-mutates" into the PMODE/W version.
• ASM source code upgraded to be MASM 6.13 compliant.
