Ah! Wonderful! I'll move that one to the top of the list!
Well, both Winoa386.mod & Vgafull.3gr are as old as they get in Win98SE:
"Friday, April 23, 1999 10:22:00 PM". This means your job is done, & no
need to worry over an update. Can you think how the later was deleted in
the first place? Mine has been sitting here undisturbed from early in
2000.
I see Candlin answered your question about SFC.
