SPECIAL NOTE FOR 32768 COLOR WINDOWS DRIVER

Some Windows application programs attempt to determine the number
of  colors  available  on the display by  enquiring  the  display
driver.  The 32768 color driver naturally gives the answer 32768,
which  unfortunately  is interpreted as a  negative  quantity  by
certain  application  programs,  resulting in odd colors  on  the
screen.  Here is a list of these programs:

o  WINDOWS PAINTBRUSH
   The  PALETTE appears as shades in black and white.  For  the
   colors to reappear,  follow this sequence:

      Go to Options menu
      Select Image Attributes
      Change setting to Colors
      Go to File menu
      Select New

o  TETRIS
   The screen appears in black and white.  The colors may  look
   different  than  normal.  Don`t panic.  The  game  is  still
   good.  Play as normal.

In addition,  when using a 32768 color driver,  the number of
icons in a group is limited to 28.


17

   diskettes.  Put away the originals.  Use the copies for
   installation.

3) After selecting a desired GEM version and display resolution,
   the appropriate driver will be copied to a GEM diskette.

4) The GEM installation program,  GEMPREP or GEMSETUP will be
   executed and a new GEM directory will be set up.


18
DRIVER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR LOTUS 1-2-3 AND SYMPHONY:

1) This installation program assumes you have installed a Lotus 1-2-3
   or Symphony directory on your hard disk.  If you haven't, install
   one.

2) 3 drivers will be copied to your Lotus 1-2-3 or Symphony directory:

   LOTUS23B.DRV   for 132x25 Text mode in 16 colors
   LOTUS33B.DRV   for 132x44 Text mode in 16 colors
   LOTUS37B.DRV   for 132x44 Text mode in Black/White

3) The file SINGLE.LBR will be deleted for:
    Lotus 1-2-3    Ver. 2.0 and

   make use of the high resolution driver.

4) Exit from this installation program to DOS.  The first time you
   run Ventura,  you may encounter some problems.  You may need to
   edit the batch file to adjust some parameters,  e.g. /A=


21
DRIVER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR VERSACAD:

1) This installation program assumes you have installed a VersaCAD
   directory on your hard disk.  If you haven't,  install one,
   with "EGA" selected for Screen Configuration.

2) The appropriate driver will be copied to the VersaCAD directory.
   If you selected any 255-color mode,  2 font files will also be
   copied:   FNT8X14.FNT and FNT8X8.FNT.

3) A batch file called AVCAD.BAT will be created based upon the
   original VersaCAD batch file.

4) Exit from this installation program to DOS.

5) Go to your VersaCAD directory and run VRUN for initial set up.

FNT8X14.FNT included in the batch file AVCAD.BAT.  That means,
when you run VersaCAD,  your text font is default to 8x14 dots.
If you wish to use a smaller font,  edit AVCAD.BAT to use the
other font file,  i.e.  FNT8X8.FNT.


A FINAL NOTE:

All VersaCAD high resolution drivers are memory resident programs.
That means,  once a driver is loaded,  it will stay in the system
memory until reboot,  which is also the only way of cleaning up.


22
The video BIOS needs to know what monitor you are using for proper
screen display by adjusting parameters like screen positioning,
interlacing, horizontal and vertical synchronizations according to
different monitor types.
