Durango Release Notes
Version 2.57.00
Win98/WinXP/DOS/Linux
April 5, 2003

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRODUCT INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Durango is a graphics/video software support package designed to assist in the
development of display drivers and embedded applications. The core of this 
package is source code that performs most of the graphics related 
functionality for the National Semiconductor (c) Geode family of products.  
Development time for new software is reduced by using these routines to access
the hardware.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download the file to a directory.  Modify and include the file durango.c 
according to the needs of the application.
