As I wrote in an earlier article, these drivers an be used under 1.3
too, if:

- the BVHWND.DLL and BVHVGA.DLL of the Paradise driver set are *NOT*, I
  repeat, *NOT* used but the versions that come with 1.3 are used.

- the BVHINIT.DLL of the Paradise driver set and the standard version
  are both tried out which version leaves less garbage on the screen
  when returning from the DOS box :-(

The garbage on the PM screen on return from the DOS box is the only
problem left after I installed the drivers on a 1.3 system. I don't know
how to fix it at the moment. Probably one could write a small program to
cause the whole PM screen to be redrawn by a keystroke ...
