Note:  If you have not already done so, make sure that you run the 
AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities INSTALL program to decompress \ALL or some
of the drivers/files to a designated disk drive.  For example,
typing:
	
	install c:\avga2 all

would create and decompress the complete AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities 
Diskette including their respective directories under the \AVGA2 
directory in drive C:.  Typing INSTALL by itself will display 
instructions on how to use it.  Typing:

	install c:\avga2 word50

would create only the WORD50 subdirectory and decompress its files 
under the directory \AVGA2 in drive C:.


This README file includes instructions on how to run the 
decompression program and describes and/or outlines support for 
the AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities Diskette.  The text file AVGAREAD.TXT 
is equivalent to an AVGA2 User's Guide giving complete information 
on the AVGA2 Card.  Additionally, the FCC.DOC and AVGAINST.DOC 
files, which are shown in the attached FCC and Installation sheets 
(in Microsoft Word for Windows format), can also be found in the
root directory of the AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities disk.  The same 
files, in ASCII format (with a .TXT extension) can be read using 
the AVGAUTIL.EXE program.  Use the AVGAUTIL.EXE program to read 
all the README and .TXT files in the AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities 
Diskette.  Note:  It is important to keep the AVGAUTIL.EXE in 
the same directory structure as the AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities 
Diskette when installing the drivers to your hard disk to be able 
to view the README files correctly.  See the examples used in 
running the INSTALL.BAT file below.

   I. DECOMPRESSION PROGRAM
      
      The INSTALL.BAT file and LZHUF.EXE program decompresses the 
AVGA2 disk contents to a designated disk drive.  A minimum of 2.0 
Mbytes of storage space is required to decompress the complete 
AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities Diskette files.  Individual directories 
can be created, the driver and utility files copied, and then 
decompressed using the parameters below.  The drivers/files from 
the AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities Diskette need to be decompressed 
prior to copying files using the AVGAUTIL.EXE program.

Running INSTALL.BAT:
	
Typing INSTALL [ENTER] displays the following instructions:

Usage: install dst drv  (drv must be in lower case)
	  example: install c:\avga2 all
	     dst = full pathname of destination directory
	     drv = 'all' expand the whole drivers/utilities disk
		   'root' expand the root directory
		   'wp' expand the WORDPERFECT directory
		   'lotus2x' expand the LOTUS2X directory
		   'lotus30' expand the LOTUS30 directory
		   'wordstar' expand the WORDSTAR directory
		   'word50' expand the WORD50 directory
		   'utility' expand the UTILITY directory
		   'misc' expand the MISC directory
		   'gemvp' expand the GEMVP directory
		   'pcad' expand the PCAD directory
		   'windows' expand the WINDOWS directory
		   'os2' expand the OS2 directory
		   'acad386' expand the ACAD386 directory
		   'acaddld' expand the ACADDLD directory

Typing the following example, assuming the source drive is drive A:
and the destination (dst) drive is drive C:, typing the following,

	install c:\avga2 all

will copy and decompress all contents of the AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities 
Diskette from drive A: to the directory \AVGA2 in C: of your hard disk.  
The INSTALL.BAT file will expand all files except for the following 
from the root directory of drive A:  README, AVGAREAD.TXT, AVGAINST.TXT, 
FCC.TXT FCC.DOC, AVGAINST.DOC and AVGAUTIL.EXE.

You can also choose only one directory as in the following example:

	install c:\avga2 word50 
  
This command will copy and expand the WORD50 contents of the AVGA2 
Drivers/Utilities Diskette to the directory \AVGA2\WORD50 in C: of 
your hard disk.

 XIV. Other support for the AVGA2 Card:

      1.  ORCAD at 800x600 by selecting the Paradise 800x600 driver
      from the ORCAD screen options and the VESA 800x600x16
      (VESA800.DRV) driver by typing this in as an option from the
      ORCAD screen options.

      2.  COLORIX from RIX Softworks at 800x600, 16 color graphics
      mode by creating a file with a text editor in the COLORIX
      directory called RIXVIDEO.DSC that contains the following
      line:

		 G = 58

      This will enable any RIX paint program to use the AVGA2 board
      at 800x600 resolution.  Next, run VGASETUP.EXE, select
      "Display Resolution" and select "G -- 800x600 16" for
      resolution, and "Save Configuration File".  Make sure that
      the "Clear Scratch At Start" is set to "Yes" from the
      "Initial Conditions" option in the VGASETUP program.  If this
      is set to "No", every time you change the resolution of the
      display, garbage will be displayed in the Colorix screen.

      3.  GENERIC CADD 5.0 using both Super VESA and Simple VESA
      supported modes.  Run the VESALIST program after you have
      installed GENERIC CADD 5.0 and this will display which VESA
      modes the AVGA2 card supports.  You need to then run the
      CONFIG program to install these modes.  Please see your GENERIC
      CADD 5.0 User's Guide for more details.

  XV. AVGA2 Utilities:
      ACU.EXE      - Supports a variety of monitor timing settings 
		     for the AVGA2 VGA and extended VGA modes.  This 
		     file is used if an EEPROM component is not 
		     available in AVGA2 Card.  Since the AVGA2 Card's
		     default setting is in interlaced mode, you will
		     need to run the ACU program if you want to change
		     the card's setting to a non-interlaced mode. 
		     Please see the AVGAREAD.TXT file for a more 
		     detailed description of the ACU program.
      AVGA2CFG.COM - A file the ACU.EXE write to after changes are
		     are made to ACU.EXE.  This file should be added
		     to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to be loaded at system 
		     reset.  Please see the AVGAREAD.TXT file for a
		     more detailed description of AVGA2CFG.COM.
      RAMBIOS.EXE  - A RAM resident copy of the AVGA2 video BIOS
		     routines to speed up video operations on access
		     to the BIOS.
      SETMODE.EXE  - Provides the ability to set the standard VGA
		     and extended VGA modes of the AVGA2.
      AVGAUTIL.EXE - Allows user to read the README and *.TXT files
		     found in the AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities Diskette.
		     This utility also allows copying some of the
		     drivers/files to their respective directories.
		     The copy option can only be used after the
		     AVGA2 Drivers/Utilities diskette files are
		     decompressed.  See INSTALL.BAT instructions
		     above.
