GeoTools NOTES
*************************************************
This README.TXT file covers compatibility
information, late-breaking news, and usage tips
for the GeoTools software.

The following topics are discussed:

1. Completion of GeoTools Installation
--------------------------------------

GeoTools is now almost installed except for a
small setting that needs to be done under the
AutoCAD Preferences dialog. We chose not to do
this automatically as part of the installation
program to enable you to configure your GeoTools
exactly how you want it as we realize that you
may be running multiple versions and / or multiple
configurations of AutoCAD.

In the "Preferences" menu, go to the "Files" tab
and open the "Support files search path". Choose
"Add" and "Browse", then point to the location
where the main GeoTools application files are
located. By defualt, the installation program
would have installed this under the
"C:\Four Dimensions\GeoTools" folder.

There are various ways in which you may like to
start your GeoTools program.

1. If you do not already use an ACAD.LSP, you can
use the ACAD.LSP template supplied with GeoTools.
This enables you to load GeoTools automatically
when you start AutoCAD or will prompt you to load
GeoTools with a "Yes/No" option. You can control
this behavior by commenting the appropriate lines
in the ACAD.LSP file as described in the ACAD.LSP
file comments.

If the loading was not done automatically upon
AutoCAD startup, GeoTools can either be loaded or
unloaded any time later using the GT_LOAD and
GT_UNLOAD commands respectively.

Alternatively, you can load and unload GeoTools
using the "Load" and "UnLoad" options in the
GeoTools menu.

2. If you already have an ACAD.LSP, you can
either copy the contents of the supplied ACAD.LSP
to merge with your existing ACAD.LSP or you can
load GeoTools separately by first loading the
loader program GT_LOAD.LSP and then using either
the GT_LOAD or GT_UNLOAD commands to either load
or unload GeoTools.

To load GeoTools, browse to the file GT_LOAD.LSP
(you can use the APPLOAD command to do this) and
load it. This loads the GeoTools main executable
GEOT.ARX (for AutoCAD Release 14) and GEOT.VLX
(for AutoCAD 2000) and the GeoTools menu.
