	I know this has been hashed out before. Perhaps someone could send
me a summary...

	I would like to use Windows 386 with a Hi-res VGA board and monitor
(at least 800x600, maybe 1024x768). My understanding is that Window 386
requires special drivers for this and that many VGA manufacturers don't have
the necessary drivers.

	- Which Hi-Res VGA boards will work and have the required drivers ?

	- What monitor should I get ? Multisync XL ? others ? for 1024x768 ?

	- What happens to standard apps when Windows 386 is running in
Hi-Res mode ? Is Windows 386 smart enough to switch in and out of a
standard mode for a standard app that is hogging the entire screen ?

	Please email responses. Thanks.
