-
- Installing the Artist-1 Graphics Driver
-
- Be sure that you have the 2 following files in your Dynaperspective
- working directory (where you will install the program):
-
- ART1.EXE
- ART1.GRB
-
- These files are required for driving the Control Systems Artist 1,1
- Plus and Artist 2 video cards. The Artist driver also requires a 3rd file
- 'ART1.CFG'. This is a configuration file for the type of monitor and
- resolution you are using with the Artist video system. This file is a small
- ASCII text file that is obtained by copying one of the driver files from your
- Control System's INTRO1 program disk to the working directory. These driver
- files are usually named with an extension of .DVP or .INT but they may have
- other extensions as well. This is the same driver file that is required to run
- the INTRO1 program. It is an ascii text file that contains parameters required
- to initialize the Artist card. Copy the file to your working directory as the
- name 'ART1.CFG'. If you are unsure which file is required, check with your
- dealer or Control Systems for the proper monitor initialization file.
-
- You must make a small change to the file to complete the installation.
- Edit ART1.CFG with any ascii editor, edlin will work fine. Goto line 13 and
- at beginning of line enter one of the choices below (no quotes) :
-
- '1' -- If you have an Artist 1 video card
- '2' -- If you have an Artist 2 video card
- '3' -- If you have an Artist 1 Plus video card.
-
- A simple carraige return entered after the digit is required. Then
- save the new file and quit. A sample session with edlin is shown here:
-
- 'edlin art1.cfg' <--- Open file for editing
- '13i' <--- Goto line 13,insert mode
- '1<cr>' <--- Type required digit and carraige
- return.
- '<control-z><cr>' <--- Return to main edlin prompt
- 'e' <--- Exit editor with save
-
- If you are having difficulty please contact your dealer or Dynaware
- Customer Support. Be sure and enter the 'correct' digit for your card type or
- the program will not display properly. If you are unsure of your card type
- check with your dealer. You are now ready to install Dynaperspective! If the
- file was incorrectly edited or not created, Dynaperspective will complain at
- the start of program with a message 'Error loading ART1.CFG' and return to DOS.
- This file must be in the same format as specified above to work and is
- required each time Dynaperspective is run. If you change to another monitor
- type, all that is required is to copy the new monitor file to ART1.CFG and
- edit as shown above.
