This README.TXT file contains late-breaking and otherwise important
information you should know before installing Syntax for Windows.
If you have questions about the installation, please contact Joe Haak
on CompuServe at CIS:70324,621
Installing Syntax for Windows
__________________________________________________________________________
1) PKUNZIP the Syntax for Windows files to a diskette or temporary
directory on the hard disk.
2) Start Windows 3.1 and insert the diskette in drive A (or B).
3) From the Windows File menu, select Run.
4) Type a:SETUP (or b:SETUP or the name of the temporary sub-directory)
and press Enter. The install program will ask you for the drive and
directory name you want Syntax installed in.
Uninstalling Syntax for Windows
__________________________________________________________________________
Syntax for Windows does not "touch" any existing INI or other
configuration files; it does automatically place its own SYNTAX.INI
file in the Windows application directory.
To uninstall Syntax for Windows, simply delete the Syntax for Windows
directory and erase SYNTAX.INI from the Windows application
directory.
Graphics Problems
__________________________________________________________________________
Beta testing has shown that some video drivers have problems with
certain device independent bitmaps as used by Syntax. These problems
show up with the left edge of the bitmap corrupted on the display.
In some cases general protection faults have been generated.
The WinSpeed Version 1.03 driver has shown this problem. We have
contacted Panacea and they acknowledge the problem and have promised
a fix very soon.
Certain ATI graphics boards and drivers also have this problem. The
ATI VGA Wonder XL shows this problem only with the BIOS P/N 11201122020.
A newer BIOS P/N 11201122030 works without problems.
All known versions of the ATI Graphics Ultra have this graphics problem.
The ATI Graphics Ultra drivers we have tested are dated 4/22/92.
The BIOS P/N is 1130111513. We have contacted ATI several times to
report the problem and they have shown little apparent interest in
identifying or resolving it.
