Simplified Configuration
HelpFONT:
    Font Configuration:

1.  The Driver will detect the Autodesk application that it is being 
    configured for, and will provide correct defaults for all of the 
    various applications.  By accepting all of the default parameters, 
    your driver will be configured correctly. This works with AutoCAD, 
    AutoShade, or 3D Studio.                     

2.  This driver will use the 8 bit international font in the VGA BIOS 
    (8x16), or an Aquila optional font file if present.  Font files may be 
    in any size up to 16 x 30.

3.  The driver searches for the file "AQUILA.FNT" in the current directory.  
    If not found, it searches for the file specified in the variable 
    "AQUILA_FONT" found in the DOS environment.  (Note: the installer will 
    automatically configure this for you.)
	
    For example, "set aquila_font = c:\acad12\drv\9x15.fnt".  If the font 
    file is readable, it will be used, otherwise the driver will borrow 
    font data from the VGA BIOS. 

 Name            Width   Height  Int'l   Comments
 =========================================================================
 none            8       16      yes     VGA default
 6x9.fnt         6       9       yes     extremely small
 8x16.fnt        8       16      yes     more legible than VGA font
 9x15.fnt        9       15      no      good for 800 modes
 12x20.fnt       12      20      no      good for 1024 modes & small CRTs
 12x24.fnt       12      24      no      good for 1024 or 1280 modes
 15x25.fnt       15      25      no      best for 1280 modes & small CRTs
 16x30.fnt       16      30      no      only useful for 1280 modes
    
NOTE:   The international font files are the only ones that will work 
	satisfactorily with 3D Studio. All others may have strange 
	characters instead of the arrows that you are used to seeing. This 
	is perfectly OK, but often a little confusing. Most of the arrow 
	heads needed to make the 12x20.fnt work with 3DS have been added, 
	but it has NOT a full 8 bit international font.

AutoCAD Screen layout - 

1.  Current Color Display - The rectangle in the top left of the screen 
    displays the current drawing color.

2.  Logo - This is used to display the manufacturers logo.

3.  Display Status Area - This area is present only when display list has 
    been enabled.
    
    Memory Status - This provides a percentage of total system memory that 
    is being used by AutoCAD.  AutoCAD may start to slow down when this 
    display exceeds 100%.  After this figure exceeds 150%, "paging" will 
    occur.
    
    Display/Screen Lists Memory Status - This shows the amount of memory 
    being used by the display list and screen list.  When this line reads 
    "Empty", this means that there is no drawing in memory (new drawing).

    d       16 bit display list data has been selected.
    Z       Zooming from the display list is allowed.  
    z       Pspace and perspective zooms by AutoCAD.  Birds-eye will not

    E       Edge-pan enabled.  Edge pan is impending.
    e       Edge-pan enabled but none impending.

Graphics Flip Screen -

When enabled, the Graphics Flip Screen will emulate the VGA text window.  
Use the F1 key to toggle between modes.  If you wish to execute any DOS 
commands, the driver will switch the screen to a full screen text mode 
which allows for a full DOS compatibility.  If you are using a plot 
spooler or other TSR which requires a compatible "pop-up" window, this 
option must be disabled.

Birds-Eye View -

Aquila Extra provides you with an advanced Birds-Eye that is rich in 
features.

Lockable Birds-Eye mode anchors the Birds-Eye to the screen for ready 
access.

Powerful Dynamic PAN & ZOOM mode allows easy movement around the drawing.

A Motif-style interface makes moving and re-sizing the Bird's-Eye a breeze.

Quick Icons provide fast access to features.

Birds-Eye Shortcuts

Enable Birds-Eye

To display the birds-eye window, double click the right mouse button.

Disable Birds-Eye

To remove the birds-eye window, simply move your mouse until the cursor is 
no longer inside the birds-eye. If this does not work, the birds-eye is in 
static mode. To remove a static birds-eye, click on the window close 
button in the top left corner of the birds-eye.

Pan / Zoom

To switch between pan and zoom, press the right mouse button.

Real time pan and zoom

Press the left mouse button  (pick button), while pressing either shift 
key. The middle mouse button on a 3 button mouse also works.

Zoom vmax

Click on the zoom extents icon at the top of the birds-eye window.

Birds-Eye Usage -

This is one of the most simple and intuitive means of panning and zooming 
within a drawing possible. A bird's eye window is analogous to the "You 
are here" maps in shopping malls. It give you an overall view of the 
drawing, showing you exactly where you are in that drawing. It also lets 
you change the zoom factor and offset (panning) without entering any 
AutoCAD commands, and your hand never has to leave the digitizer puck 
or mouse.

Bird's eye also works in multiple viewport drawings, and will appear in 
the aspect ratio of the currently active viewport.

When activated, either by entering the "AQBIRD" command, or by double-
clicking the proper digitizer button, the bird's eye view will appear 
under the current cursor location. In this window will appear a small 
overall view of the amount of the drawing that AutoCAD has currently 
placed in Aquila's display list. A highlighted rectangle will appear 
within this window (filled white rectangle), indicating the currently 
viewed area.

Also within this window is an outline rectangle that moves around with 
the digitizer. This indicates the area that will be shown if a bird's eye 
zoom is completed. If this rectangle contains an "X" in the middle, then 
the bird's eye is in pan mode. If this rectangle contains an arrow, then 
the bird's eye is in zoom mode. This is the same user interface presented 
by AutoCAD in the "ZOOM DYNAMIC" command, and should be intuitive.

Pressing the pick button on your mouse or digitizer (left button with most 
any mouse) allows you to toggle between zoom and pan modes in the bird's 
eye window. You may move the pointing device around inside the new view. 

Pressing the selection button on your digitizer causes the selected view 
to be used in the currently active viewport.

Pressing the pick button on your mouse or digitizer while simultaneously 
pressing the "Shift" key on your keyboard toggles the birds-eye between 
static and dynamic zoom modes. When in Dynamic zoom mode, Aquila Extra 
will instantly update the current viewport as you move the mouse.

Moving the cursor outside the bird's eye window cancels the function, and 
does not affect the current view.

  This Icon locks the Birds-Eye on to the screen. When selected, this Icon 
  will be replaced by the UnLock Icon and the Birds-Eye will remain on the 
  screen. When the Birds-Eye is locked you can freely move back and forth 
  between AutoCAD and the Birds-Eye.

UnLock Icon

  Depressing this Icon unlocks the Birds-Eye on screen. When the Birds-Eye 
  is unlocked, it is automatically removed from the screen when you execute 
  a command or exit Bird's-Eye.

Dynamic Mode On Icon

  By depressing this Icon you enable Dynamic PAN & ZOOM. As you move the 
  cursor around the Birds-Eye, the contents of the cursor are zoomed into 
  your current viewport. Dynamic Mode can also be toggled on and off by 
  pressing the pick button on the mouse while holding down either SHIFT 
  key.

Dynamic Mode Off Icon

  Depressing this Icon will disable the Dynamic Pan & Zoom modes.

Zoom All Icon

  The Zoom All Icon is provided to allow you to zoom to the extents of the 
  local display list.  Unlike AutoCAD's Zoom All or Zoom Extents commands,  
  this command will not force a regen.  It is very useful when zooming back 
  out to the extents of the drawing.

Sync Icon

  The Sync Icon allows for the synchronization of the Birds-Eye with the 
  current viewport.  Occasionally it is useful to have the Birds-Eye match 
  the current viewport.  Executing this Icon will force AutoCAD to perform 
  a regen on the Viewport followed by the Bird's-Eye resetting itself to 
  match the viewport.

Repaint Icon

  Depressing the Repaint Icon allows the Birds-Eye to be brought up to 
  date.  The Birds-Eye will get out of sync with the viewport when blocks 
  are moved or deleted.

HelpPan:

Edge Pan -

Edge-pan is used to move around while zoomed into a drawing.  By leaving 
the cursor near the border of the currently active viewport, this driver 
will automatically begin to pan in that direction.  This only begins if the 
cursor is left idle for a predetermined length of time.  There are a 
number of configuration settings to use, and they can be changed within
AutoCAD.  Experimentation will yield the best results for your needs.

Paging Alarm -

When AutoCAD's memory requirements exceed the amount of physical memory 
available in your machine, it begins "paging", in order to gain extra 
memory.  Paging means that certain memory areas are traded back and forth 
with a "swap file" on the hard drive.  Due to the difference in access
speed between main memory, and this "virtual" memory that is on the hard
drive, AutoCAD begins to slow down, often to the point of being unusable.
To combat this, memory is used very sparingly, and only when absolutely 
necessary.  As a second line of defense against paging, when the amount 
of memory paged out to disk exceeds several preset thresholds, the driver
begins shutting down extra functions, and returns the memory to AutoCAD.


When paging activity exceeds the first threshold, the screen-list feature 
is disabled and all associated memory is returned to AutoCAD.  At this 
point, the screen list status line will disappear from the status window.  
Should paging activity continue, the driver will disable the display list 
feature and return all of the memory to AutoCAD.  When this happens, the 
second line of the status window will say "Disabled", to indicate that all 
display list functionality has been terminated.

The driver will continue to function as normal, but redraws will be slower.  
However, AutoCAD itself will now be much faster than it was when the paging 
was occurring.  This allows you to complete your drawing session in much 
less time.

Custom Menu Design -

The following is an example of how to write a menu of useful functions 
for Aquila that will work with Release 12. It should be added to your 
standard "ACAD.MNU" file, and then recompiled.  Please see the "Custom

Erase buffer -

When AutoCAD erases objects from the drawing database, it erases them from 
the screen as well.  Sometimes this action causes other objects to appear 
erased as well.  The "redraw" command has no effect, but a "regen" causes 
the objects to appear correctly.

This problem can be solved by using the erase buffer to correct the display 
corruption that occurs when objects are erased from the drawing.  Normally, 
AutoCAD will request that the driver erase a line from the screen by drawing 
it in black.  This causes the erased object to flash on and off the screen 
during redraws.

Another side effect is that objects near the erased one may appear to be 
incomplete.  To correct this in the fastest manner possible, the driver will 
keep a list of erased vectors, and erase them only when the buffer fills.  
This speeds up block erasures considerably.

There are certain after market software packages for AutoCAD, such as CAD 
Overlay, which rely upon the ability to draw objects in black (background 
color).  If you are using one of these packages and the screen images keep 
coming up distorted, you may need to disable the erase buffer.

Band-Free Rendering -

When using the 15 or 16 bit rendering modes, often times the images appear 
"banded".  This banding or staircasing occurs most often on objects with 
large sloping or gently curving surfaces.  Band-Free rendering improves the 
image quality in these modes.  

The "Band-Free" effect can be controlled as well.  It may be set to "Low", 
"Medium", or "High", depending upon how much of the banding you want to 
eliminate.  This feature will be of limited use to users of AutoShade,  
but is beneficial to users of Autodesk RenderMan and 3D Studio.

EndBand:

HelpCommands:

Driver status (^L)

Typing a ^L at the AutoCAD command prompt will give the user a display of 
the current display resolution, and memory allocation statistics. If 
invoked from the text screen, the command used to provide help on the 
driver local commands will also be displayed.

Help screen (AQHLP)

The help screen function displays a list and brief description of all the 
driver local commands.  This command is best executed from the text screen 
(flip screen), as the list will be much longer than the 3 lines allowed 
inside the drawing editor.

AQDLQ

This command will give a printout of all the viewports currently in use, 
along with some useful statistics about each one.  Perspective or 
paperspace viewports will be listed as such, and the current viewport 
will be indicated. Each viewport will list the amount of memory used by 
it, as well as the number of erased vectors.

In multiple viewport drawings this will print out a large number of lines, 
so it is better to perform this command from the text screen.

AQDRQ

This command will indicate the status of many features of the driver, and 
will perform exactly the same as the driver status command.


AQCLN

When editing drawings, sometimes you may notice a flashing of erased or 
moved objects on the screen during redraws. This command will remove those 
objects from the display list by initiating a "cleaning" cycle. This can 
be executed at any time, even if the Erase Buffer has been disabled.

AQCOLOR=index,red,green,blue

This allows you to change the appearance of each color on the screen. It 
may be useful when trying to match screen colors to plotter pens. The 
valid range for all values is 0 - 255.

AQBIRD

This will cause the bird's eye window to appear underneath the current 
cursor location. The window will display an overall view of the contents 
of the currently active viewport. If the current viewport is a paperspace 
or perspective viewport, the bird's eye will not appear.

AQEPAN

Entering this command will toggle on & off the edge pan feature.  It may 
be disabled and re-enabled at any time during an AutoCAD session. The 
bottom line in the status window will be updated to reflect the change.

AQPL

This will pan the current viewport to the left by 25 percent.  Regens 
are never authorized by this command.

AQPR

This will pan the current viewport to the right by 25 percent.  Regens 
are never authorized by this command.

AQPU

This will pan the current viewport up by 25 percent. Regens are never 
authorized by this command. 

AQPD

This will pan the current viewport down by 25 percent. Regens are never 
authorized by this command. 

AQZI

This will zoom in the current viewport by 50 percent. Regens are never 
authorized by this command. 

AQZO

This will zoom out the current viewport by 50 percent. Regens are never 
authorized by this command. 

AQZX

This will zoom the current viewport to the extents (extreme edges) of 
the display list. Regens are never authorized by this command. 

AQZWI

Only available under Release 12, this special zoom command performs a 
"ZOOM WAY IN", while keeping the same scale factor on the screen. This 
will cause a regen to occur. Upon completion, you will be able to zoom 
in futher before another regen will occur. Careful use of this command 
upon loading a drawing can eliminate subsequent regens.

When finished, the viewport will look exactly as it did before. The 
difference is that now you will be able to zoom in much farther before 
a regen occurs. In the case of 32 bit display lists, subsequent regens 
may never occur.

By performing a "ZOOM ALL", followed by an "AQZWI" command, you will be 
able to zoom in and out of your drawing as much as possible without 
causing further regens. This can also be used to eliminate the small 
bird's eye image that is present when loading drawings in Release 12.

EndCommands:

HelpComtwo:

AQZWO

Only available under Release 12, this special zoom command performs a 
"ZOOM WAY OUT", while keeping the same scale factor on the screen. This 
is the conceptual opposite of the AQZWI command.

This will cause a regen to occur. Upon completion, you will be able to 
zoom out as far as possible before another regen will occur. This can be 
very useful when making large additions to your drawings, such as array 
copying, or cross referencing other drawing files.

To get the most out of this command, zoom in as far as you will need into 
your drawing. Then enter "AQZWO". When finished with the regen cycle, you 
will be able to pan and zoom out as much as possible without incurring 
further regens. This will allow you to add large blocks of data to your 
drawing without limiting your ability to zoom around it.

AQPANSCR=xx

Changing the amount of the viewport scrolled by the edge pan feature is 
accomplished here. The value must be between 10 and 80, and is a 
percentage of the viewport size. Example- to set the scroll distance to 
one quarter of the viewport size, "AQPANSCR=25" would be used.

AQPANBRD=xx

This will change the width of the edge pan border. The value must be 
between 5 and 50, and is in number of pixels. Example- to set the edge 
pan scroll zone to 16 pixels, "AQPANBRD=16" would be used.

AQPANTM1=xx

This command allows you to change the amount of initial delay used before 
the edge pan begins to happen. This is given in number of "clicks", or 
fractions of a second. There are 18 "clicks" to a second. Valid range 
for this command is between 10 and 64. Example- to set the initial delay 
to 1.5 seconds, "AQPANTM1=27" would be used.

AQPANTM2=xx

This command allows you to change the amount of repeating delay used 
after the edge pan begins. This is given in number of "clicks", or 
fractions of a second. There are 18 "clicks" to a second. Valid range 
for this command is between 1 and 18. Example- to set the repeating rate 
to twice a second, "AQPANTM2=9" would be used.

AQEBUF=xx

This command is used to change the size of the Erase Buffer. If zero is 
used, the buffer is turned off. Example- to set the Erase Buffer to 25 
objects, "AQEBUF=25" would be used. Valid range for this command is 0 
(zero) to 32000.

AutoCAD Performance Tuning


Memory -

AutoCAD Releases 11 and 12 have a ravenous appetite for memory. In order 
for AutoCAD to run at its best, you should have a large amount of DRAM 
(Dynamic Random Access Memory) in your system. Both AutoCAD and Aquila 
Extra are designed to work at their best when a large amount of memory 
is available. There is no fixed rule, but the following general formula 
is a good guideline:

Anything less than 4 megabytes is not recommended.  4 MB is barely usable. 

For the user who spends less than 2 hours a day using AutoCAD, 8MB is 
probably sufficient.

If you are impatient, have large drawings, use AME or 3rd party software, 
or spend most of your workday using AutoCAD, 12 to 16MB is reasonable 
and 32 megabytes is ideal. The increase in productivity will quickly 
offset the cost.

Disk optimization -

A disk drive will operate at its fastest when all files are located in 
physically contiguous areas on the drive. Over the course of time these 
files become "fragmented", which means that different parts of the file 
may be in physically different locations on the drive. The act of 
"seeking" to all these different locations increases the time it takes 
for the machine to load these files.

Files can become fragmented by being written to and saved again.  To 
correct this problem, there are a number of 3rd party hard drive utility 
packages that are capable of "de-fragging" your hard drive or drives. 
Used on a regular basis, they will keep your filesystem operating at 
peak efficiency.

The process of installing AutoCAD causes the entire "\ACAD" subdirectory 
structure to become very fragmented. The first thing that should be done 
after an AutoCAD installation or update is to de-frag the disk drive. 
Due to the large amount of data that will need to be moved, this may take 
some time.

Disk cache -

AutoCAD systems with more memory (10 MB and up) should reserve some of 
the memory for use by a disk caching utility, such as SMARTDRV. This will 
speed up drawing file access, as well as the amount of time it takes 
to load AutoCAD.

Finding the right amount of memory to set aside for disk cache will take 
some experimentation, but it should be at least 512Kb to be effective. 
If too much memory is taken away from AutoCAD by the caching software, 
AutoCAD will slow down considerably.

DOS extender

Release 11 uses Phar Laps' DOS extender version 2.2b as default, but can 
be upgraded to version 2.6 by using the NEWDX utility provided on the 
"Dxfix / Newdx / B1step" utility disk. Follow the directions, and install 
the updated DOS extender. This will allow AutoCAD to use more memory, and 
will make AutoCAD compatible with Microsoft Windows' HIMEM.SYS memory 
manager. This step is essential if you're are planning to use Windows on
the same machine as AutoCAD. Then use the "CFIGPHAR" program to set the 
"DEMANDLOAD" option to "ON".

Release 12 uses Phar Laps' latest (4.0) DOS extender, and is has the 
"demandload" option turned on as a default.

Troubleshooting -

Here are some of the most commonly asked technical support questions.

- AutoCAD has a white square in the top left corner of the screen.

	This indicates the current drawing color, and is not a bug. This 
	is not present on many VGA drivers (such as Autodesk's), but it 
	is OK for it to be there. It will change color to whatever the 
	current drawing color is.

- The display list is enabled in the configuration, but no status window 
  is present, and redraws are not as fast as they should be.

	Aquila Extra has detected that the graphics card being used is not 
	fully compatible with this driver. This may also be confirmed by 
	the logo used in the menu zone- if this is an insect then Aquila 
	has detected an incompatible device. To solve this problem, please 
	buy a graphics device that includes Aquila Extra. 

- The Paging Alarm may have been tripped. If the logo in the menu area is 
  normal, then this is the case. To reset the Paging Alarm and enable 
  display list capabilities again, you must exit and re-enter AutoCAD.

- Using a digitizer tablet causes my drawing to scroll off the screen.

	This is caused by the Edge-Pan feature. To keep this from 
	happening, you must re-configure the driver. As a default the 
	Edge-Pan is disabled, but you may have enabled this feature. To 
	disable it, use the command "AQEPAN".

- Release 12 does not have an option to use Aquila Extra.

	Toggling to the flip screen always uses the text screen, instead 
	of the text window in the middle of the AutoCAD screen.

- 3D Studio ignores the font I have selected.

	Yes. This is because 3D Studio requires at least 80 columns and 
	30 lines to run. To accomplish this, the selected font may be 
	disabled and replaced with the standard VGA font.

- After rendering in AutoShade, the main graphics window is blank.

	AutoShade has been incorrectly configured. You must tell AutoShade 
	that a redraw is needed when returning from shading and RenderMan 
	screens.

- The Birds-Eye view refuses to appear, and it is enabled.

	The Birds-Eye will only appear in zoomable viewports, and is not 
	available in paperspace or perspective viewports.

HelpBug:

AutoCAD R12
	When rendering to a seperate screen, and dual-screen mode is
	selected, the graphics screen never comes back. This is a 
	deficiency of AutoCAD, which never tells the driver that it
	must return to its previous mode. The work-around is
	to re-initialize the graphics card by typing the following:
	"REINIT S <enter>". Please note that you must enter all the

	be ignored.

	When configured for a rendering screen with greater than 256
	colors, AutoShade may try to crash when doing a Save Image
	function (ALT F8). To compensate, this driver will limit the number
	of pixels that can be saved by the driver. The result is a narrow
	strip of pixels (752 of them to be exact) on the left side of
	your saved image file. It's not ideal, but its better than having
	AutoShade crash.

3D Studio 1.0
	"3D Studio dispatcher, packet 165 not defined" message when

Aquila Plus -

Also available is Aquila Plus, a full featured AutoCAD device driver. 
In addition to the features and performance you have with Aquila Extra, 
Aquila Plus has the following features:

- Icon based Menu System. This is the most complete icon based menu system 
  available. You can add new icons and reprogram them from within AutoCAD. 
  Menu icons may be drawn inside AutoCAD, or with any Windows paint 
  program. The menus can be stacked, with top level menus opening sub-menus 
  or whole new menu files. Commands can be AutoCAD native commands, 
  AutoLisp routines, or Aquila native commands.

- Spy Glass viewport. This allows a very quick means of roaming around the 
  drawing to view magnified details. It is ideal for reading title blocks, 
  dimensions, architects notes, etc.

- Multi Stage Birds Eye. This is the most powerful improvement to the birds 
  eye ever conceived. With the 32 bit display list power of Aquila and 
  Release 12, this multistage feature allows you to zoom the birds eye into 
  a small portion of the drawing for quick zoom and pans. As needed, the 
  birds eye may be zoomed out to full size again.

- Screen Saver. Why risk your expensive monitor?

Display List Configuration:

This section covers the configuration of the display list features found 
in ProDesigner Driver.  Please pay careful attention to the information 
presented here, since this will affect the performance of ProDesigner 
driver under AutoCAD.

NOTE:  
    
    During configuration, you must choose a method of memory management 
    for the display list information.  Which method you use will depend 
    upon the type and number of drawing you work with during an AutoCAD 
    session. 
    
    Dynamic - Memory keeps on growing as it is needed.  This requires the 
    least amount of operator interaction, and is the most carefree.
    
    Static - Memory is a fixed amount that you will specify.  When the 
    display list grows bigger than memory limits, the display list will 
    be shut off.  The static option is a little bit faster, but requires 
    a knowledge of how much memory your drawings will consume.
    
    Some experimentation will be necessary in order to make the driver 
    work optimally for your particular environment and needs. 

1.  The first option is "Enable Display List?".  Answering "No" will end 
    the display list configuration choices.

2.  If you are configuring for Release 12, you will then be asked 
    "Enable 32 bit regens?".  Enabling this feature will greatly reduce 
    regens, providing faster operation.  The down side of this choice is 
    that the driver will use more memory for the display list.

3.  Select a memory management scheme.  "Dynamic dlist (automatic)?" 
    Answering "Yes" will select the dynamic scheme.  You would then be 
    prompted to select a performance level, "Miserly (1), Normal (2) or 
    High Performance (3)".  If you have very little memory in your machine
    then select Miserly, if you have lots of memory, select High 
    Performance.  You will be asked to provide a memory size to use if  
    other options are selected.  If this is the first time being 
    configured, the driver will make a suggestion based upon the amount 
    of memory in your system.

4.  Select erase buffer operation.  Answering Yes to "Enable erase buffer?" 
    brings up a second question "Erase buffer size?".  This will determine 
    the number of erased objects it takes before the driver will start an 
    automatic "cleaning" cycle to remove them from the display list.  
    Select a higher value if you plan on editing large drawings.

5.  Configure the Page-Alarm option, "Enable Page-Alarm?".  Answering "Yes" 
    will bring up a second prompt about the sensitivity setting for the 
    Page-Alarm.

  MicroStation Protected Mode Display Driver 
  
  This driver will work with a Hercules-compatible MDA card as the
  second graphics device.  
  
  This can be configured as either the "Primary" (right screen) or
  "Secondary" (left side) graphics device.
   
  SWAP screen capabilities are supported if a 256 color mode is
  configured.
 
  The MicroStation (protected mode) drivers are
 
    "MGL911.EXP"
    "MGL911.MA"
    "MGL911.MGL"
 
  CONFIGURATION:
 
  The first time this driver is used, it will require the user to select 
  which video mode to use, and will present a menu of available resolution 
  modes from which to choose.  Once selected, a configuration file will be 
  created that the driver will access for subsequent MicroStation sessions.
 
  To permanently reconfigure the driver, DELETE the file
  "\USTATION\DRIVERS\MGL911.CFG" and run MicroStation again.
  
  To change the resolution mode used, you may set the
  environment variable "MGL911" to one of the following numbers:
	     Resolution/Colors
     0        640 x 480 x 256
     1        800 x 600 x 16
     2        800 x 600 x 256
     3       1024 x 768 x 16
     4       1024 x 768 x 256
     5       1280 x 960 x 16
     6       Reserved
     7       1280 x 1024 x 16
     8       Reserved
 
  For example,to set 1024x768x256 type the follow statement at a DOS prompt:
 
	   SET MGL911=4      <ENTER>
 
  MicroStation will now come up in 1024x768x256 colors.
 
  If the driver finds a legal value in the environment, it will use it
  to override any variable found in the configuration file.
 
  To activate the changes, please reboot the system.

    If the initialization code is unable to determine which mode to use, it
  will always default to the 640 x 480 x 256 color mode.

   Protected Mode (6.0, 7.0) 
       VC3_911.COM
       VCAD386.CFG
       VCAD386.BAT
 
   and REMOVE.EXE for all versions.
 
LOADING THE DRIVER
    
Run the VersaCAD ENVIRO program, selecting the "Fahrenheit" screen driver.
You will be able to choose between "Single Screen" and "Dual Screen"
configuration,as well as various resolutions.

The VersaCAD driver file is a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program that
must be invoked each time your machine is powered up. For this reason, it is
recommended that you include the VersaCAD.COM file name in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.

EMS MEMORY USAGE
   
As a default, this driver will reserve 512K of EMS memory when invoked. This
will be used to store the display lists needed for fast redraws. While this
should be enough memory to handle most drawings, additional EMS space may be
reserved once the driver has been loaded. This is done by setting the
environment variable 'VCAD_EMS=' to the number of EMS pages you wish to have
reserved. Each EMS page = 16K in size.
   
 EXAMPLE:
      'SET VCAD_EMS=64'     will cause the driver to reserve 1024K (64 pages
			    * 16K) of memory when the driver is loaded.
   
      'SET VCAD_EMS=0'      will tell the driver not to reserve any EMS. In
			    this case, display list processing will be disabled.

   This option will create a diskette with a Playback only version of 
   VOICE NOTES, a Windows sound driver that doesn't require a sound card, 
   and an installer for both of these.  You may provide this diskette to 
   your friends and associates, so that they can play Voice Notes embeded 
   in documents you send them.  The sound driver will be installed only 
   if there is no hardware already installed that can play PCM format 
   sound.

   The diskette has an installer program called INSTALL.EXE.  Insert the 
   diskette in a floppy drive and type "INSTALL".  The program will copy 
   the drivers and applications into your Windows subdirectory.

   The Windows SYSTEM.INI file will be updated and the WAVE= statement 
   will be modified.  If the system already has a sound card installed, 
   answer YES when the question is asked.  Just enter Windows and use
   the "RUN" command under the FILE option to activate the application.

	1. Select "RUN"
	2. Type "\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OVNPLAY.EXE" and hit the <ENTER> Key.
