This is the READ.ME file for TurboDLD v1.0. It contains
information that has changed or is different from the Installation
Guide, as well as some other useful tips.


Important:
==========

This version of TurboDLDClassic only supports VGA boards based on 
the Tseng Labs ET4000/W32.


I - TIPS/ERRATA/FEATURES/REVISIONS
============================================================

- Rendering Resolution options will be available only when
configuring a Rendering device, not directly from the Graphics
Board/Resolution Menu as indicated in the Installation Guide.
Rendering options will appear when AutoCAD R12's AVE Render
is first configured or when configuring 3D Studio or AutoShade.
It      may be necessary to reconfigure AVE Render by using the
RCONFIG command at the AutoCAD command prompt.

- For AutoCAD R12 setup, when installing TurboDLD Deluxe into a 
subdirectory other than \ACAD\DRV, you must edit the ACADDRV 
environment variable to point to the TurboDLD sub-directory.
For example, if TurboDLD Deluxe was installed into a sub-directory
on drive C: named TURBODLD, the ACADDRV environment variable would
look like the following:
	SET ACADDRV=C:\ACAD\DRV;C:\TURBODLD

- When running at greater than 8 bits-per-pixel (256 colors),
setting physical colors via DLDCOLOR will have no visible
effect until an SAVE and EXIT occurs.


- There is no longer a Remove or Overwrite mode for the Display
List. TurboDLD functions as the Remove mode did in previous DLD
versions, eliminating flashing of erased vectors, without affecting
performance.

- The BPCACHE is normally disabled, not enabled as is indicated in
the Installation Guide. Enabling BPCACHE will only make a noticeable
performance difference when using TIGA-based graphics boards.

- For those persons with low CPU RAM and less than 20mb of available hard
disk space you should use the -SWAPCHK ON switch to configure AutoCAD. 
This switch will give you the option of saving your drawing when AutoCAD
starts to run out of disk space.   The way you configure this is to change
into your AutoCAD program sub-directory and at the prompt type:
		CFIG386 ACAD -SWAPCHK ON

What if I Have Problems?
========================

If you encounter a problem with TurboDLD, please try to
duplicate, and document, the steps required to reproduce it.
As you document the problem, list your current system
configuration, including video board, resolution, number of
colors configured, etc. Also, if possible, try to duplicate
the problem with an AutoCAD sample file so that we can
easily try to re-create the problem on our equipment. To contact
technical support, refer to Appendix A in your "TurboDLD Installation
Guide".
