Comments in revision 0.347:
---------------------------

- Added DIBEngine StretchBlt temp fix. In most resolutions the system will 
  freeze when doing a StretchBlt screen to memory. By default the switch
  we provided turns off the StretchBlt raster operation. To turn on Stretching
  set "StretchBltFix=OFF".
- Added 1024x768x24bpp DIBEngine only support. This is turned OFF default. 
  To turn on this resolution you must add the mode in the registry.
- An updated <sxciext.dll> is provided.
