                       SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
                    ******************************


--- WINDOWS 3.1, 3.11 INSTALLATION ---

1)  Start Windows.  Be sure all other applications are closed.

2)  Insert the backup copy of your WACOM software diskette into a floppy 
    drive.

3)  From the Program Manager File menu, select Run and press Enter.

4)  Type the floppy drive name followed by a colon and the setup command
    (for example, A:\SETUP).  Press Enter and follow the instructions that
    appear.

5)  Restart Windows to activate your tablet.

IMPORTANT: If you want to use the tablet in a DOS shell under Windows 3.1
           or 3.11 you must load the WACOM mouse emulation driver before 
           running Windows.  (See dos install)

The installation program creates a WACOM directory and copies a test utility
program and the appropriate Readme files there.


--- DOS INSTALLATION ---

1)  Insert the backup copy of your WACOM software diskette into a floppy 
    drive.

2)  At the system prompt, type the drive name, a colon, and the INSTALL 
    command (for example, A:\INSTALL).

3)  Use your keyboard arrow keys to select DOS installation.  Press Enter. 

4)  Follow the instructions on the screen.

The installation program creates a WACOM directory and copies the
appropriate files there.  It also asks if you want to modify the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file to automatically load the WMOUSE driver, and add
the WACOM directory to your path.


                    ******************************
                        FEATURES NOT SUPPORTED
                    ******************************

The following features in the WACOM Control Panel are not currently 
functional, they will be available in future releases of the driver.  New 
drivers can be downloaded from the WACOM BBS, Internet, America Online and 
CompuServe.

    Context Aware:    Provides eraser support for non-eraser aware programs.
    Orientation:      Allows you to change the orientation of the tablet.
    Multi Mode:       Allow the use of puck and pen together on the tablet.
    ABS, REL Buttons: These menu strip buttons are inactive.  The tablet
                      can be switched to relative mode by setting aspect to
                      relative in the Scaling Setup dialog box of the WACOM
                      control panel.


                    ******************************
                        KNOWN BUGS AND ISSUES
                    ******************************

1)  If using the PC Speaker driver, be sure the interrupts are enabled.  If 
    they are disabled, the tablet may freeze.  The PC Speaker Control panel 
    is found under control panel, drivers, PC Speaker, Setup.

2)  PENWIN.DLL is copied to the hard drive by the WACOM setup program.  If 
    activated, the following problems and changes occur in Windows:

    *  Windows Write will not open (Out of Memory Error).

    *  Drag and Drop will not function in Word 6.0.

    *  The cursor disappears in the Excel edit window.

    *  The input boxes in File Manager are larger.

    To restore proper operation, remove 'penwindows=penwin.dll' from the 
    [drivers] section of the SYSTEM.INI and restart.
    
    NOTE: PENWIN.DLL is a Microsoft library.  The problems and issues listed
          above relate directly to this Microsoft library.

    NOTE: PENWIN.DLL must be active to receive pressure in Adobe Photoshop 
          3.04 or less in Windows 3.1.

3)  There is a conflict between Microsoft's PENWIN.DLL and ATI video card 
    drivers.  If pen windows is active and you attempt to select text, the 
    application will crash with a "Call to Undefined Dynalink".  If you use 
    an ATI graphics card, we recommend you remove PENWIN.DLL.  If you use 
    Adobe Photoshop 3.04 of less and require pen windows for pressure please 
    contact ATI for updated video drivers that are PENWIN.DLL compatible.

4)  Relative scaling will not function with both Microsoft Penwin and Wintab
    enabled.  If you need to run the tablet in relative mode turn off either
    Pen Windows or Wintab on the Pointers dialog in the Wacom control panel.

5)  To add Windows 3.0 mode support, edit the 'SYSTEM.INI' and change the 
    'mouse.drv' line to read 'mouse.drv=wacpen.drv'.  Restart and check
    the Windows 3.0 mode box in the Preferences window.

6)  If you are leaving your Microsoft Mouse attached, you will no longer be
    able to access the extended mouse features from within the Mouse control 
    panel with Mouse driver v8.2 or above.  To access the extended features 
    of the 9.0 mouse driver, run MOUSEMGR.EXE (you usually have an icon for 
    Mouse Manager in your Mouse group).

7)  If the cursor vanishes in an application, expand the oldmouse driver
    from the disk to the windows system subdirectory. (ie. EXPAND
    A:\WIN\WIN31-95\OLDMOUSE.DR_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OLDMOUSE.DRV )  Edit the 
    SYSTEM.INI and change the mouse driver to 'oldmouse.drv'. 
    ( mouse.drv=oldmouse.drv )

8)  If you use the #9 imagine 128 drivers and hawkeye, the icons in the main
    menu of the Wacom control panel may appear and disappear.  The closer
    the control panel is to the left of the screen the fewer icons appear.

9)  The Diamond Stealth 64 drivers are fully pen windows compatible.  These
    drivers will ink on the screen if pen windows is installed.

10) If upgrading to Windows 95 the driver will stop working after the
    install.  Re-install the drivers after the installation of win95.


                    ******************************
                    MODIFICATIONS TO WINDOWS 3.1x
                       SYSTEM.INI AND REGISTRY
                    ******************************

The Windows setup procedure makes the following changes to the system.

The following files are expanded from the WIN\WIN31-95 subdirectory on the 
WACOM software diskette; To the WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory:

WACOM.CP_    ->  WACOM.CPL     (Control panel)
WACOM.DR_    ->  WACOM.DRV     (Main driver)
WACOM.38_    ->  WACOM.386     (Virtual driver)
WACPEN.DR_   ->  WACPEN.DRV    (Windows 3.0 compatible mode)
PENWIN.DL_   ->  PENWIN.DLL    (Pressure library from Microsoft)
WINTAB.DL_   ->  WINTAB.DLL    (Pressure library 16-bit)
WINTAB32.DL_ ->  WINTAB32.DLL  (Pressure library 32-bit)
WTT16.DL_    ->  WTT16.DLL     (Pressure library 32-16 Thunk)

To the WINDOWS subdirectory:

ARTPADII.HL_ ->  ARTPADII.HLP  (ArtPad II Help file)
ARTZII.HL_   ->  ARTZII.HLP    (ArtZ II Help file)

A WACOM subdirectory is created and it contains:
README.TXT   ->  README.TXT    (Readme file)
WIN31.TXT    ->  WIN31.TXT     (Windows 3.1 readme file)
WTEST.COM    ->  WTEST.COM     (Wacom test program)
WTEST.TXT    ->  WTEST.TXT     (Readme for WTEST)

The setup program on this disk will make the following changes to your 
SYSTEM.INI file.

Under the [boot] section:
        [boot]
          .
          .
        ;oldmouse=?????
        drivers=??? pen penwindows

The current mouse driver is copyed to OLDMOUSE.DRV and the name is held in
';oldmouse'.  If the mouse driver is replaced by WACPEN.DRV; wacpen will
load the OLDMOUSE.DRV driver.

The setup routine adds the words 'pen' and 'penwindows'.  The previous 
drivers on the "drivers=" line (like mmsystem.dll) are not changed.

Under the [386Enh] section:
        [386Enh]
        device=wacom.386
          .
          .
          .

NOTE: There must be no other pen drivers listed on the right side of any 
      "device=" line in the [386Enh] section.  Otherwise Windows will not 
      boot up in enhanced mode.

Under the [drivers] section:
        [drivers]
            .
            .
        pen=wacom.drv
        penwindows=penwin.dll

Setup adds a new section to your SYSTEM.INI file called [Pen Driver].

Under the [Pen Driver] section:
        [Pen Driver]
        ComPort=1
        9600baud=1

---  WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS AFTER  ---
--- INSTALLING THE WACOM DRIVER FOR WINDOWS ---

When the Windows setup program is run, your current SYSTEM.INI file is copied
to a backup file named SYSWAC.000.  The filename increments each time an 
install is performed.  In the event that after installation Windows 3.1 fails
to start (i.e. returns to the DOS prompt), from your Windows directory 
(C:\WINDOWS) type 'copy SYSWAC.??? SYSTEM.INI'.  Your settings before you ran
setup will be restored and Windows should work as it did before the install. 
If you have any problems with installation please refer to the trouble 
shooting section in the manual.
