VGA oddities

Part 4 of this demo (the greetings), prompts you on what VGA mode to use to display a graphic. The first option uses a nonstandard VGA mode 360x570 (it’s actually 360x594) that is safe to use with DOSBox-X, though not recommended for non-multisync VGA monitors. The second option uses 360x480 (also safe). DOSBox-X has been updated to handle the 360x570 mode despite that some CRTC registers contain invalid values.

Bugs

Running the demo with BOOT.BAT will run all sections properly, except that part 3 will run without music. To run part 3 with music, run it manually by typing ``PART3.EXE''. Answer `Y' when the part asks if you want music.
