The MS-DOS Application Drivers Diskette contains drivers for the following
popular MS-DOS-based applications:

AutoCAD, AutoShade, Cadvance, Generic CADD, Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Symphony,
P-CAD, VersaCAD, Word, and WordPerfect.

Installing MS-DOS Application Drivers:

Follow these general instructions to install an MS-DOS application driver:

1. With the MS-DOS Application Drivers Diskette in Drive A, type the
   following command at the operating system prompt:   a:
2. Type: install

The INSTALL command displays the main menu, listing the software drivers
available on the diskette.

3. Use the direction keys to scroll down and highlight the application
   driver you wish to install. Press  <ENTER>
4. Select the driver you wish to install, and follow the instructions on
   the screen. When finished, INSTALL returns you to the main menu.
5. Install other drivers from the menu, if necessary, or select Exit
   Installation Program to return to the operating system prompt.

Note: We recommend making a backup copy of the drivers diskettes, using the
MS-DOS diskcopy command.

Notes about MS-DOS Application Drivers:

* Install your software applications before you run INSTALL to install the
  drivers.
* Do not write protect the MS-DOS Application Drivers Diskette.
* Install the drivers according to the instructions in this manual and any
  applicable README.TXT files on the diskette. Specify the full pathname
  when prompted for the driver. Note that many applications require the
  driver to be in the same directory as the application.
* Install software for VGA video if possible. This enables your software to
  run with the adapter in its default configuration.
* If your software does not provide a VGA option and you are using a color
  monitor, try installing the software for color, if available. This usually
  works with your adapter's default mode on color monitors.
* If your software supports a video standard other than VGA, configure the
  software for the best standard. Run VGAMODE.EXE to set the mode to match
  the program. Refer to the "Operation" section for information about
  VGAMODE.EXE.
* If the software does not display the video properly, use VGAMODE.EXE to
  set the adapter to a video standard that supports the software in CGA or
  Hercules mode.
* Hercules-compatible software and some CGA-compatible games require that
  the adapter be set to the appropriate standard.
* Software that requires a specific video mapping might need the VGAMODE
  utility to set the adapter to color or monochrome VGA mode. The default
  mapping is color for a color monitor and monochrome for a monochrome
  monitor.
* To get the sharpest display, select the highest resolution mode supported
  by the application when you configure your software.
* In a normal installation, the driver is decompressed and copied to the
  directory that you specify. The directory is created if it does not
  already exist. This process is verified by the following screen messages:

  Installing, Reading, Verifying, Writing, Decompressing.

* Execute the installation program from a diskette drive or a network
  directory. This is your source drive. You cannot install to the source
  drive.
