====================================================================

This Windows 95 CD contains updated Mwave software that enables you to use
the Mwave multimedia and communications features of your Thinkpad with
Windows 95.  This updated version of the Windows 3.11-based Mwave software
should be used until IBM releases a native Windows 95 version of the Mwave
software.  At that time, you should obtain the Windows 95 version of the
Mwave drivers.  The new software will contain many usability and
functionality enhancements, including Windows 95 Plug and Play
compatibility.

NOTE: Since the Mwave installation software was designed to be run from
Windows, it is recommended that you install this Mwave update *BEFORE*
installing Windows 95.  However, if you already installed Windows 95,
you can install the Mwave update on top of Windows 95.



DISCLAIMER: Using this Mwave update with Windows 95
---------------------------------------------------
This update has been fully tested and is generally available for
use with Windows 3.11.  However, only limited testing has been done with
Windows 95.  While most of the Mwave functionality is available when
running with Windows 95, there are some known problems and limitations.
These problems and limitations will be addressed when IBM releases a
native Windows 95 version of the Mwave software.

The following list describes the known problems and limitations that
exist when using this Mwave software update with Windows 95.

    1. The Windows 95 Volume Control application does not work
       with Mwave.  Use of this application can result in a crash.

    2. The Mwave Recorder displays "MCI Error" messages.  While these
       messages are a nuisance, they can be safely ignored.

    3. The Windows 95 built-in FAX application, Microsoft Fax, does not
       work with the Mwave Class 2 FAX modem.  However, other Class 2 FAX
       applications do work with Mwave running on Windows 95.

    4. When attempting to use too many Mwave services at once (eg. running
       FAX, playing a MIDI file, and playing several WAVE files, all at the
       same time), you may see criptic error messages indicating the
       problem.  For example, you might see the following message from
       Media Player:

            MMSYSTEM003: Driver not enabled

       In this case, the problem is that there is not enough resources
       available on the Mwave DSP to handle the Media Player request.
       While this same situation occurs under Windows 3.11, the messages
       produced by Media Player are generally more understandable.



Installing the Mwave Software Updates
-------------------------------------
This Mwave update consists of the following three components, and should
be installed in the order shown.

    1. Mwave Software release 1.1 for DOS (optional)
    2. Mwave Software release 1.1 for Windows 3.11
    3. Mwave Patch #1 (more than 16 meg of memory)
    4. Mwave Patch #2 (modem performance)

Although it is necessary for you to install the Windows version of the Mwave
Software release 1.1, you only need to install the DOS version if you are
currently using the 1.0 release of the Mwave DOS software or if you need
Mwave DOS functionality from outside of Windows 95.  The Mwave DOS software
is not needed if you plan to access the Mwave modem or SoundBlaster game
support from a native Windows 95 DOS session.

1. To install the Mwave Software release 1.1 for DOS, run the program
"INSTALL.EXE" from the MWAVE1_1.DOS directory.  If you already have the
1.1 software release for DOS installed on your system, you do not need to
re-install it.

2. To install the Mwave Software release 1.1 for Windows 3.11, run the
program "SETUP.EXE" from the MWAVE1_1.WIN directory.  If you already have
the 1.1 software release for Windows installed on your system, you do not
need to re-install it.

3. To install Mwave Patch #1, follow the instructions as indicated in
the READ_ME.TXT file located in the PATCH1 directory.

4. To install Mwave Patch #2, follow the instructions as indicated in
the README.TXT file located in the PATCH2 directory.
