- WACOM Graphire Tablet Driver ---
-------------------------------------

This is WACOM Graphire Tablet device dependant OS/2 driver (serial model)
It supports both Graphire Pen & Mouse and emulates usual 3-button serial mouse.

---------------------------------
- Status of the program ------
---------------------------------

WACOM Graphire Tablet OS/2 Driver is Freeware.

-----------------------
- Limitations ------
-----------------------

The driver is in early stage of its life, so many features are not yet 
implemented. But it works! I was waiting for someone who whould make it 
during a year. And it appears to be me... Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

Just a list of several things I'm aware of:

1. Both Pen & Mouse work only in absolute mode. 
   (ok, I'll make relative mode soon)

2. No scrolling mouse wheel support
   (hmm, I'll fix this as soon as I dip into the docs)
   
3. No buttons reassignment
   (er..)
   
4. No "Key-maps" support as seen in Windows driver
   (hmm..)
   
5. Incorrect work in some DOS-sessions, depending on video mode.
   (It's not my guilt. It seems IBM routine of absoluteXY-to-screenXY 
   conversion can't determine video mode, so I can't use my lovely Autodesk 
   Animator Pro *;(( I suppose, relative mode will help)
   
6. No USB tablet support
   (er.. Yes! If you present me USB tablet or $99 I believe USB driver can 
   come to the life. Though, there is a small chance I'll try to make it 
   without the device. It depends...)
   
7. No Pressure-level-to-button-click selection, only default value now.
   (coming soon)
   
8. No working area customization as seen in Windows driver
   (may be, may be...)

9. [Fill yourself]
   (Yes! Almost done *;))
   
------------------------
- Installation ------
------------------------
Place graphire.sys in any suitable directory, for example \OS2\BOOT

Find in your config.sys a string with MOUSE.SYS device driver
(typically DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\MOUSE.SYS)
Place string DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\GRAPHIRE.SYS before the line with MOUSE.SYS
Add TYPE=GRAPHIR$ parameter after MOUSE.SYS

So, the whole picture should look like this:
...
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\GRAPHIRE.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\MOUSE.SYS TYPE=GRAPHIR$
...
Graphire driver uses COM1 by default. If you have you tablet attached to a
different COM port, just specify parameter SERIAL=COMn after GRAPHIRE.SYS
for example:

DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\GRAPHIRE.SYS SERIAL=COM2
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\MOUSE.SYS TYPE=GRAPHIR$

That's all. Then you need to reboot your computer.

-----------------
- Usage ------
-----------------

Just use your Graphire tablet set as usual *;)

Pen is much more useful than mouse. To get its best you can download 
'Hot Scroll' program from http://www.step.polymtl.ca/~guardia/hotscroll.php
So you can assign one of the Pen side-switch buttons to scroll-mode.
