4.37.2.63. GetVbeVersion function
Targets: MS-DOS only
Graph Unit
Returns the version of VESA BIOS Implementation.
Declaration:
function GetVbeVersion: Word;
Remarks:
The Vbe version is a BCD value which specifies what level
of the VBE standard is implemented in the software.
The higher byte specifies the major version number.
The lower byte specifies the minor version number.
Note: The BCD value for VBE 2.0 is 0200h and the BCD value
for VBE 1.2 is 0102h. In the past we have had some applications
misinterpreting these BCD values. For example, BCD 0102h
was interpreted as 1.02, which is incorrect.
