is ozvga reversible? do the files you copy into windows copy over existing files that will be lost for good or can you easily "uninstall" oz after it is "installed"?

The pre-existing ROM files in \Windows are 'shadowed' by the files you copy over them.

The new *.96.dll files in SE_VGA and/or ozVGA (oz uses exactly the same DLL's as SE_VGA; this is why the main oz installer ZIP is only some 70k, but requires a pre-installed SE_VGA and/or the copying of the contents of VgaRes.zip to \Windows previously) can be freely removed in SE mode (NOT in native VGA! Then, all of them are used!) with the exception of three ( outres.96.dll, shellres.96.dll and tshres.96.dll ). These are actively used (and, therefore, locked) by the system and, therefore, can only be wiped out with a hard reset.

All in all: you can't delete all the files oz/SE installs to \Windows without a hard reset.
