hardware acceleration.
Millennium CAD Drivers Guide
----------------------------
This is the complete Millennium CAD Drivers Guide in electronic
format. It covers the AutoCAD Dynaview drivers for DOS and Windows, as
well as the MicroStation driver.
This electronic documentation comes with Adobe Acrobat Reader for DOS,
version 1.0. Acrobat supports all popular printers, so the
documentation can be easily printed in parts or in total.
Notes:
- Acrobat Reader for DOS supports VESA SuperVGA modes, which the Millennium
supports in its BIOS. To display the documentation in high resolution,
call the Acrobat "Preference" menu, and select the desired SuperVGA mode.
- the documentation can be accessed from within an AutoCAD DOS Shell,
making it an excellent "on-line help" tool.
- the documentation can also be read with Acrobat Reader for Windows.
Acrobat Reader for Windows is included with the PowerDesk Documentation
product, on this CD-ROM.
- the installation of the Acrobat Reader and the actual doc (.PDF) file
is handled through a Windows installation called SETUP.EXE. The two
portions of the product can also be installed manually, if you do not
have Windows installed on your system.
For manual installation:
cd \cadguide
install (to install Acrobat Reader for DOS)
copy cad_eng.pdf c:\acrodos
copy cad_eng.bat c:\acrodos
for other languages, substitute the _eng portion of the above two
filenames for the other language suffixes (eng=English, fre=French,
ger=German)

your Windows PowerDesk offering: Monitor Program, Control Panel, Quick
Access and Screen Saver are described in details.

can be easily printed in parts or in total.

access to the documentation very easy.
