                        Imaging for Windows 95
                           Version 01.00.00


Imaging is a new Windows 95 accessory that allows users to create, 
annotate, view and print TIFF, BMP and Microsoft Fax (AWD) image documents. 
Users can also view and print JPEG and PCX/DCX images with this application. 
It is built using several OCXs (also included with this kit) that can be 
used by developers to build custom imaging applications. 

This README file includes information about the following topics:
    1 - Installation
    2 - TWAIN Support
    3 - Functional Considerations
    4 - Additional Considerations About This Release
    5 - Support

    
1 - Installation
================

Before installing Imaging, it is highly recommended that you close all open 
applications that are visible on your Windows 95 taskbar to avoid 
installation conflicts. 

To install Imaging:
------------------- 
 
1. Locate the "SETUP.EXE" file in the directory where you unzipped the
   Imaging files and double-click.
2. Select OK on the Imaging Setup dialog to install the Imaging components.
   Do not check the TWAIN 1.6 box until you read section 2 below.

When the installation is complete, select "Imaging" from the 
Program > Accessories menu to run your Imaging application.   

To Uninstall Imaging:
---------------------

1.  Select "Add/Remove Programs" from the Control Panel.
2.  Select the "Windows Setup" tab.
3.  Select Accessories.
4.  Select the "Details" button.
5.  Scroll down to Imaging.  UNCHECK the selection to uninstall Imaging.
6.  Scroll down to TWAIN 1.6.  UNCHECK the selection to uninstall TWAIN 1.6
    if it is checked.
7.  Select the "OK" button. 
8.  Select the "Apply" button on the "Windows Setup" tab.

The following on-line resources provide more information about how to use 
Imaging:

* Sample Visual Basic Program - The WINDOWS\WANGSAMP directory contains a 
  Visual Basic program that illustrates the use of the OCX controls.  
* Application On-Line Help - The file WANGIMG.HLP in the WINDOWS\HELP 
  directory provides on-line help for the application.  You can access Help 
  via Help->Help Topics when you run the application.
* Programming Help - The file WANGOCXD.HLP in the WINDOWS\HELP directory 
  provides on-line help for the OCX controls as well as information on 
  imaging concepts.  A third Help file that you might notice in the Help 
  directory, WANGOCX.HLP, provides help for dialog box fields and is not 
  intended for browsing. 

2 - TWAIN Support
=================

If this is your first time installing Imaging and you plan to use scanning,
you must install TWAIN Version 1.6 in order for your scanner to work 
correctly with Imaging.  The TWAIN Version 1.6 files are included with your
Imaging kit and can be installed by also checking the TWAIN 1.6 option box 
during installation.  Please note that TWAIN support files are used by many 
scanning applications and different applications do not always support the 
same versions of TWAIN.  To retrieve newer versions of TWAIN files and 
related support information (TWAIN SPEC, TWAIN.FAQ) you should look in the 
following places:

FTP site:  	CAERE.COM in PUB/TWAIN
CompuServe: 	Go HPPERIPH, TWAIN Directory
Your scanner manufacturer
The TWAIN Working Group at:
	Inside the U.S.:		1-800-722-0379
	Outside the U.S. and Canada:	(208) 344-4809
	(This is a fax back system that faxes the TWAIN Toolkit order form, 
         Document Number 3130)

Note:  Imaging installs 4 TWAIN related files (twain.dll, twain_32.dll, 
twunk_16.exe, twunk_32.exe) to your Windows System directory.  If TWAIN 1.6 
is selected for removal, it will delete only the TWAIN files that were 
placed there during the TWAIN 1.6 install.  It will not remove any temporary 
files that were created during TWAIN processing.  It will also not replace 
any TWAIN files that might have been overwritten during the installation 
process.  

3 - Functional Considerations
=============================

Supported Platforms 
-------------------

* This version of Imaging runs on the retail version of Windows 95.
* This version will not work correctly on Windows NT.

Microsoft Fax (AWD) Support
---------------------------

* Only Microsoft Fax documents (AWD files) created with the retail version 
  of Windows 95 are supported.  
* If you run the Microsoft Fax Viewer from Explorer, it will reset your 
  registry associations for AWD files to point to the Microsoft Fax Viewer. 
  Imaging will no longer be called to view faxes once this happens unless 
  you reinstall. 

Scanner Support
---------------

In addition to installing TWAIN 1.6 scanner support (see section 2 above), 
you must also install the correct data sources for your scanner hardware.  
Scanner vendors will be certifying their scanners with Imaging on an 
on-going basis.  Look for updates in Wang's forum on CompuServe.

The following Hewlett-Packard TWAIN compatible scanners have been certified:
Data Source:  	DeskScan 2.2 or later
Scanners:  	ScanJet 2p
                ScanJet 3c
                ScanJet 4c 	(Requires DeskScan 2.3 data source)
                ScanJet 2cx  	
Data Source:	PictureScan 1.01 or later
Scanners:	ScanJet 2p
                ScanJet 3p

The following Fujitsu TWAIN compatible scanners have been certified: 
Data Source:	Fujitsu TWAIN Drivers Version 2.51 or later
Scanners:	ScanPartner 10C
                ScanPartner Jr.

The following Epson TWAIN compatible scanners have been certified: 
Data Source:	Epson Scanner Utility Program for Microsoft Windows,
                1.3E or later
Scanners:	US model names	European/Asia Model names
		ES-300C			GT-6000
		ES-600C			GT-6500
		ES-800C			GT-8000
		ES-1000C		GT-8500
		ES-1200C		GT-9000
		Action Scanner II	GT-5000

Note:  Epson uses different model names for U.S. and European/Asia but the 
scanners are essentially the same.  U.S. includes Canada and South America.

4 - Additional Considerations About This Release
================================================

General 
-------

* When viewing READ ONLY files, Imaging opens in VIEW MODE which does not
 allow editing functions such as cut, paste or annotations.
 
* If you annotate a page in an AWD or BMP file, the annotation(s) will be
  rendered without prompting.  When exiting the file, you will have the
  opportunity to save the file with the rendered annotations.

OLE Controls Development Environment
------------------------------------

If you have existing VB projects containing previous releases of Imaging 
Controls, you may have to perform the following:

1. Remove all Imaging Controls from each form (noting the name for the
   controls).
2. Remove all Imaging Controls from the project through the VB Custom 
   Control menu.
3. Re-insert the custom controls for the project through the VB Custom
   Controls menu.
4. Re-draw the controls on each form that previously contained Imaging
   Controls using the previous name.  Keeping the names identical will
   maintain code written for the control.

Known Scanning Problems
-----------------------

* HP PictureScan:  If the mouse cursor is moved across the progress dialog
  while a scan is in progress, a GPF results. This problem has been
  resolved in a later release of HP PictureScan software available from
  the following sources:

  HP Peripherals Forum on Compuserve:  	     GO HPPER for driver updates,
   					     application notes and press
                                             releases 
  HP Customer Support	(U.S. and Canada)    (208) 323-2551 
   Outside the U.S. and Canada		     (208) 344-4809 
   Internet Address			     192.6.71.2 or
                                             ftp-boi.external.hp.com

* HP DeskScan data source:
  There is a known problem related to the HP DeskScan data source which
  does not save settings selected in SETUP for a scan session. To work
  around this, adhere to the following steps:
  1. Select the desired values through SETUP, except brightness, contrast,
     highlight, shadow, X scale and Y scale.
  2. Exit the SETUP dialog using the FINAL button.
  3. Re-enter SETUP.
  4. Select the desired values for brightness and contrast.
  5. Exit the SETUP dialog using the CLOSE button.
  6. Select SCAN from the Imaging dialog box. 

* HP PictureScan data source: 
  1. If you modify the selection rectangle available in the PictureScan 
     data source, it will be a permanently defined rectangle with the
     dimensions and offset selected. 
  2. If you scan an image to a 4-bit palletized BMP file, the file output
     type will be a Black and White file using Modified Huffman compression.
