CONFIGURING YOUR SYSTEM
=======================
The system is supplied (almost) ready to run on an EGA display on a basic
PC system.
You can improve performance drastically if you have better hardware:
Various parameter files have to be set up correctly before the system can be
used as OzGIS supports a range of video boards. This should be quite straight
forward for standard EGA and VGA boards, but as there are no standards for
super VGA boards the procedure gets involved.
The configuration is worth spending the time on as it is very important to
display maps as fast as possible and to use the highest display resolution
possible. If you plan to do a lot of mapping it is worth purchasing the
hardware (its optional).
Resolution is provided by using Super VGA boards.
Speed is provided by:
. Super VGA boards with 256 colours (512K or 1 Mbyte RAM on the board)
. Using an extra 1MByte of RAM as a RAM disk.
. Math coprocessor
. Faster processor
The other hardware worth having is a mouse. While the arrows on the keyboard
can be used, they are slow.
