       b) entire HAV file is loaded in memory (if enough free RAM)
       c) VESA video modes with linear framebuffer on VBE 2.0 
          compatible graphic cards
  - added support for "non-DOS" HAV movies
  - new switches to support batch playing, for more help start 
    PlayHAV without arguments
  - to suppress textual output from PlayHAV use ">nul" redirection,
    like this: playhav movie >nul
