README FILE FOR VIDEODRV 5.00
------------------------------
Well, there is yet a new file format for VIDEODRV.DBF. Actually, it is
just the same old file format, but I have added yet more information to
the file, as I add new features internally. Thus, there is a new
CONVERT.EXE which converts VIDEODRV.DBF from the version 4.00 format
to the version 5.00 format. Please note that you should only use the
CONVERT.EXE that is supplied with version 5.00 if you are using version
4.00. If you are using an earlier version (assuming you have not been
using it for more than the 30 day evaluation period) then you basically
need to delete your VIDEODRV.DBF file, and reinstall your drivers files
again for the purpose of building a new VIDEODRV.DBF.
NOTE that your old VIDEODRV.DBF will NOT work with this version of
VIDEODRV. Thus, you need to convert it into the 5.00 format, or
delete it and rebuilt it again, by reinstalling drivers from your
manufacturer's distribution disk.
CONVERT.EXE is text mode OS/2 program that should be run from a command prompt
(after changing to the directory in which your VIDEODRV.DBF file is located).
CONVERT.EXE is really a half-way solution, because the information in the
old DBF file is less than that in the new file. All that CONVERT.EXE does
is to put that information into the new file format. By using it, you
will not get the benefits of the extra information in the new file format
(this basically concerns updating references to fonts in the Win-OS/2 INI
files). Please note this point.
CONVERT.EXE converts the data in VIDEODRV.DBF and puts it into a file
called CONVERT.DBF. After conversion, you need to back up your old
VIDEODRV.DBF, delete the copy on your hard disk, and then rename
CONVERT.DBF to VIDEODRV.DBF.
