+Instructions for Win95/98:
+==========================
+I can only confirm that scitech finally made a vbe driver
+for windows. It works out of the box, at least with win95
+as guest os, provided you use Bochs 2.1 with the LGPL 
+vgabios.
+
+Here is how I did it :
+- install win95 with the vga driver.
+- download sdd 7 beta from <ulink url="http://www.majorgeeks.com/download382.html"></ulink>
+- download pmhelp.vxd from <ulink url="http://unununium.org/viewcvs/snap/redist/release/pmhelp.vxd"></ulink>
+- copy pmhelp.vxd to the win95 system directory
+- install sdd7
+
+800x600 and 1024x768 in 16 and 24 bpp modes here.
+I did not try 32bpp.
