These files are distributed under the GPL v2, or at your
option any later version. See LICENSE.TXT for details

Allows you to start ST-Low resolution color games from:

* A mono desktop if you are using an ubeswitch
  (https://github.com/planeturban/ubeswitchmk6)

* A graphics card desktop if you have an ET4000 installed

* An overscan desktop if you have a LaceScan installed (experimental)

It is intended for fullscreen games & demos that are not using GEM.
The video mode switches automatically when specified applications
are launched and restores itself when you return to the desktop.

Put MODESW.PRG and MODESW.INF in the AUTO folder.

If you are not using any special graphics hardware then you can
put MODESW.PRG anywhere in the startup order.


---------------------------------------------------------------------
