                              PREMMIA AND TGRAF SOFTWARE

    PROBLEM:        When attempting to run the DOS-based TGRAF program on a
                    Premmia system, with 2MB of video RAM, the application returns
                    an error saying there is not enough video RAM to support the
                    operation in the normal 8-bit plane mode.

    CAUSE:          ATI Technologies, Inc. HDILOAD.EXE driver, version 2.2 or
                    lower, is not compatible with the TGRAF program.
