1) Installation
===============
NOTE: If you are upgrading from the 4.03.00.2101-0071 Release Candidate 2
then you will be warned that three files have a for a different language.
This was a bug in RC2 and you should reply NO when asked if you want to
keep the old file in all three cases, so that Windows 95 DOES install the
files from the final release.
1.1 Download into an appropriate scratch directory
(e.g. C:\3dlabs).
1.2 Use pkUnzip to uncompress the .ZIP file USING THE
-d OPTION to preserve the directory structure...
> pkUnzip -d c:\3dlabs\XXXX.ZIP
1.3 This will produce a .DOC file in Microsoft Word 6.0 format, which
contains the release notes for the Display Driver and OpenGL driver,
and a the driver files. If you do not have Word 6.0 and wish to
read or print the release notes then download WordViewer 6.0 from this
site (file Wordvu.exe see Wordvu.txt for licensing details).
1.4 Use this directory as the "Have Disk" target to install the new
driver using the control panel display applet in the normal way.
Full installation instructions can be found in the .DOC file.
1.5 You can now delete the download scratch directory and its contents.
