4.2    Private fixes for OS/2 Warp 4.0

        This Version needs some new files from IBM, which are
        not yet released. So it is possible that there are some
        problems.

        These IBM Files are used :

                - ssmpeg.dll


4.3    Control

        With <SHIFT>+<F6> you can switch to fullscreen mode.


4.4    Video modes

        Use 16bpp for the OS/2 desktop.


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

5      Restrictions

5.1    Display Drivers

        The ELSAmotion driver only works in conjunction with a display
        driver with full EnDIVE capability.

5.2    Video Offscreen

        Without enough offscreen memory the image will be written
        directly into the displayed screen area. This has some
        disadvantages:

        - the stretching size is limited (fullscreen playback is not
          possible).
        - Clipping is not supported.

5.3    Audio-only files.

        These files are not supported

5.4    Color depth

        24/32bpp are not supported.
        Using 8bpp can cause incorrect color translation.
