This is the Help file for DLDSETUP v1.01. It may be no larger than
48K in size or strange things will happen. The help messages may be
modified, as long as the "tags" (single words preceded by a ":") are
not changed. One possible reason to modify this file is to translate
it into a foreign language. WARNING: Do not start any line with a
colon (":") character because it will be mistaken for a help tag.

:Intro
                          Welcome to DLDSETUP!

    This program is used to configure DLD386-VGA's operating environment,
    including things like font size, board type, and resolution.
    Upon completion, this program will create a file, FASTACAD.BAT, 
    in the current directory, which contains all the commands 
    necessary to load DLD386-VGA. DLDSETUP will also create a file
    called DLDSETUP.DAT in the directory pointed to by the DLDCFG
    environment variable (or the current directory if DLDCFG is not
    set). DLDSETUP.DAT contains all the driver specific configuration
    information.
    
    After configuring the driver via this utility, you may want to also
    customize your color selections. This is accomplished by running
    either COLOR16 or COLOR256 (depending on whether you are
    running AutoCAD in 16 or 256 color mode). These color 
    configuration programs will allow you to manipulate menu colors, 
    drawing colors, and even the physical colors.
    
    Also, remember that at any time while you're running DLDSETUP, you
    can press the question-mark key ("?") to get context sensitive help.

:DualMon
This option is used to tell DLD386-VGA if you want to operate on only
one screen (the one attached to the VGA card) or two (in case you
also have a Monochrome Display Adapter). If you choose "Automatic",
DLD386-VGA will run single screen if AutoCAD 386 is started from the
VGA screen, or dual if started from the monochrome display. Selecting
"Always Dual" will cause DLD386-VGA to always run in dual screen mode.

:FlipScreen
The Flip Screen Method is a fail-safe feature. In virtually all
cases, the "Instant" selection will suffice, but in some rare cases,
the combination of a given VGA with a particular system will result
in artifacts left on the display when doing a flip-screen back from
the text screen to the graphics screen. If this occurs on your system,
use the "Force Redraw" option.

:DispList
When an object is erased or moved, the "Remove" option causes its
vectors to be removed from the display and/or fast redraw list.
This may be substantially slower than the "Overwrite" option,
but it guarantees that the screen will be updated correctly. The
Overwrite option causes new erase vectors to be added to the display
lists, so the object will first be drawn, then erased, on screen
updates. See the section, "The Remove/Overwrite Option" in the manual
for more complete details. Disabling the display list will bring
AutoCAD 386 ZOOMs and PANs back to normal AutoCAD 386 speeds. Disabling
the fast redraw list will slow down REDRAWs substantially, but increase
PAN and ZOOM speeds by about 5%. Disabling both lists will make
DLD386-VGA behave like a "dumb" ADI 4.0 driver.

:BoardList
Hit F1 for a list of supported resolutions and colors.
Select the desired combiniation of resolution and color
from the list by using the up and down arrow keys to 
highlight your selection.  Press F10 or Enter to confirm 
your selection.  You will be asked to make a seperate 
selection for AutoCad display and rendering screens.

:BoardSelect
This driver only supports Cirrus Logic VGA. If your system does 
not include VGA support from Cirrus Logic you can contact Panacea
technical support at 603-437-5022 for additional information on 
purchasing DLD386 drivers for your VGA.

:FontSize
Select the font size which you would like used in all the AutoCAD
drawing screen menus, including pull-downs and dialog boxes. The
8x8 font is rather small, so we recommend that you use either the
8x14 or 8x16 fonts. A large 12x24 font is available for resolutions
1024x768 or above.

:VGAColor
Specify whether you want to run AutoCAD 386 in a 16 color mode or
a 256 color mode on your VGA. If your board does not support a
resolution of at least 640x480 in 256 colors (see your VGA owner's
manual), then you should select the "16 color driver" option.

For 16 and 256 color drivers, if you want to change the individual 
AutoCAD color assignments, run COLOR16.EXE for the 16 color configuration, 
COLOR256.EXE for the 256 color configuration to access Panacea's
CustomColors(tm) utility.

:NtextLines
Specify the number of lines you desire for the AutoCAD text area at the
bottom of the AutoCAD graphics screen. This number must be between 1
and 10. If you do not want a text area, probably because you have a
dual screen configuration, then you must disable the text area during
the AutoCAD configuration of the display device.

:Sierra
Not used.

:PolySpeed
Drawing Solids, Wide Polylines, Donuts, and the like, requires a
slow method if other objects are going to overlay and obscure them.
If you do not draw objects on top of polygons, or do not care about
high quality antialiasing where polygons intersect, then choose FAST.
Otherwise, choose GOOD and things will run a bit slower but look
a lot nicer.
