3.8.3 VCnVINT
Purpose: To initialize CnP and clear all memories. When done, load a
simple task into system memory and start the 34020. It is recommended
that this program be included in the user's startup command file. If the
graphics board registers and memory are not found at the expected
addresses, VCnVINT gives an error message and exits.
VCnVINT was designed to run before the Graphics Subroutine Package is
loaded into the board. VCnVINT has several command line options which
supports specification of a non-standard CSR address and line buffer
addresses. Refer to the sample scripts for the different OS's to see how to
use this program. A number of standard initialization tables are supported
and are supplied. See Section 5.4 for more information.

Description: VCnVTST is a menu driven program which allows the user
to select any or all tests, and to change 34020 parameter registers

Three menus are supported: The master menu, the 34020 register menu,
and the test menu. Since significant effort has been made to make
VCnVTST "user friendly", the features of the program are pretty self
