VESA - What is UniVBE?

[Judas Iscariot]

Bonjour, I have just been given an old, but very fine,
copy of Duke Nukem 3D. However, in order to get a
resolution of greater than 320 x 200 it says I must use a
VESA screen mode. As I understand it, seeing as my video
card isn't VESA compliant, I need a program called UniVBE
to simulate a VESA chipset. Is this so, and if it is
could some nice person explain to me what UniVBE is and
how can I get a copy. I do need to play Duke Nukem or I
fear I'll cry.

Thank You,
Me.
