SciTech Display Doctor 7.0 for OS/2 BETA 11 is now available! You can
download this new beta release from:

  ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/sdd-os2-7.0.0-b11.exe 

This new version is a self installing executeable file for OS/2, so 
you simply need to download the file and run it.

Changes in BETA 11:

. Brand new installer for professional version. Hopefully all license
registration problems will be fixed by this new installer. 

. Added support for selection between small and large fonts and icons
for PM (WinOS/2 support is coming). 

. Added support for listing both 32768 and 65536 color depths in the 
system properties page. Also fixed problems with WinOS2 display 
incorrect colors if 32768 modes were selected. 

. Fixed line clipping problem for Y-major lines as seen in the Java 
WireFrame demo program (and also in the Speedy benchmark). 

. Fixed line clipping problem for horizontal and vertical lines when 
dragging windows off the edge of the screen and back on again. 

. Fixed memory detection problems for Cirrus Logic 543x/4x chipsets, 
causing hardware cursor to disappear for some 2Meg boards. 

. Fixed mono bitmap and text functions causing scrolling and BitBlt 
corruption on Cirrus 543x/4x chipsets. 

. Fixed lockup on booting with Cirrus 5434 chipsets. 

. Fixed text corruption problems and other acceleration problems with
the Intel i740. Still working on solving some corruption problems 
with high resolution and high refresh rate modes in 16/24bpp. 

. Fixed screen corruption problems for Cirrus 543x/4x chipsets when 
running high refresh rates with high color depths. 

. Fixed hardware cursor glitches at 1600x1200 on Matrox Millenium 
boards. 

. Removed support for monochrome bitmap acceleration for the original
S3 Virge chipsets, which have hardware corruption that we cannot work
around. All Virge chipsets later than the original do not exhibit
this problem (ie: Virge/DX, Virge/GX, Virge/VX etc).
