-----------------------
PCAD installation:
1. Run INSTALL on the Vortek-VL driver diskette and install
drivers for PCADD.
2. Edit the "\PCADDRV.SYS" file, changing the display
driver path/filename so that it points to the newly
installed driver,PCADAGX.DRV
D R I V E R U S E
-------------------
The driver is loaded into memory by PCAD, and so requires no
intervention on the part of the user. The CAD package will also remove
the driver from memory upon completion, thus conserving DOS memory.
This driver will default to a resolution of 640x480. To use any other
resolution mode, an environment variable must be set as follows:
"set pcad_mode=<mode>"
Where <mode> is:
0 640 x 400
1 640 x 480
2 800 x 600
3 1024 x 768
4 1152 x 900
5 1280 x 960
6 1280 x 1024
Please note that not all resolution modes may be available, due to
monitor in use, and VRAM available.

-----------------------------
PCAD reports a driver failure.
Couldn't find an AGX based card.
Install a compatible AGX based graphics card before proceeding.
Computer "hangs" before PCAD ever comes up.
Not a 386 or better.
This driver requires the presence of a 386 or 486
in order to work correctly. XT-class machines (8088 & 286
based) will not work correctly, and will most likely
"hang". The only solution is to upgrade your machine.
