- Installing Syntax for Windows
- __________________________________________________________________________
- 1) PKUNZIP the Syntax for Windows files to a diskette or temporary
- directory on the hard disk.
-
- 2) Start Windows 3.1 and insert the diskette in drive A (or B).
-
- 3) From the Windows File menu, select Run.
-
- 4) Type a:SETUP (or b:SETUP or the name of the temporary sub-directory)

- directory name you want Syntax installed in.

- Uninstalling Syntax for Windows
- __________________________________________________________________________
- Syntax for Windows does not "touch" any existing INI or other
- configuration files; it does automatically place its own SYNTAX.INI
- file in the Windows application directory.
-
- To uninstall Syntax for Windows, simply delete the Syntax for Windows
- directory and erase SYNTAX.INI from the Windows application
- directory.

- Graphics Problems
- __________________________________________________________________________
- Beta testing has shown that some video drivers have problems with
- certain device independent bitmaps as used by Syntax. These problems
- show up with the left edge of the bitmap corrupted on the display.
- In some cases general protection faults have been generated.
-
- The WinSpeed Version 1.03 driver has shown this problem. We have
- contacted Panacea and they acknowledge the problem and have promised
- a fix very soon.
-
- Certain ATI graphics boards and drivers also have this problem. The
- ATI VGA Wonder XL shows this problem only with the BIOS P/N 11201122020.
- A newer BIOS P/N 11201122030 works without problems.
-
- All known versions of the ATI Graphics Ultra have this graphics problem.
- The ATI Graphics Ultra drivers we have tested are dated 4/22/92.
- The BIOS P/N is 1130111513. We have contacted ATI several times to
- report the problem and they have shown little apparent interest in
- identifying or resolving it.
