Step 3: The Lotus installation program will load and present the instal-
lation menu. From this menu, select Advanced Options. From
the Advanced Options menu, select Add New Drivers To
Library. From the Add New Drivers Menu, select Modify Cur-
rent Driver Set. From the Modify Driver Set Menu, select Text
Display. From the Text Display menu, select one of drivers.
Step 4: After the selection of the appropriate VGA display driver, you
will need to exit this menu and return to the Main Lotus Instal-
lation Menu. Do this by selecting Return To Menu.

Step 6: At this point the Installation Menu will prompt you for the name
of your new Lotus configuration file. The Lotus system will
prompt you with the default value — 123.SET, but you may
want to use a filename that indicates the resolution of its driver.
For example, if you installed the 132 column by 25 line driver,
you could name this driver 132X25.SET, or if you installed the
80 by 50 driver, you may want to call the file 80X50.SET.
Step 7: The installation of your Lotus 1-2-3 driver is now complete.
You will need to exit the Lotus installation program at this
point. At the main Lotus Installation Menu, select Exit.
NOTE: If your driver set is not 123.SET, you have to type the
filename of your driver set in the command line when
you start Lotus 1-2-3. For example, if you named your
driver set 132X25.SET, type the following to start
Lotus 1-2-3:
123 132X25.SET <ENTER>
5.3.4 VESA
The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has created a stan-
dard for a Super VGA BIOS Extension (VBE). This defines a standard
software interface to allow application programs to set and control
extended video modes, such as 800x600 graphics, on video adapters from
different manufacturers.
The VESA driver adds this Super VGA BIOS Extension to the VGA
BIOS. Any application program which supports the VESA standard
driver interface can be used with this driver. This VESA driver conforms
to the VESA Super VGA Standard #VS891001.
