==================================================================

This is v3.00 of the Stealth Pro Install / Windows Drivers
disk.  Please backup any system critical files before installation.

Installation Notes
------------------
Use the INSTALL file to install the Windows 3.1 drivers from DOS 
or from the Windows Program Manager.  

*  Suggestion:  Use MS VGA when installing from Program Manager 
   to eliminate any OEM files that could create a conflict.

*  If the install says "file exists, overwrite Y/N" for any of 
   the .VBX files, OVERWRITE it.  The files provided are newer
   than those provided with Visual BASIC 3.0 and other VB apps.
   Leaving old files will produce errors like "Enter an integer".

*  If the install says "file in use, abort/continue" and the 
   file in question is a font (*.FON) file, continue the install.

*  If strange errors occur and text is missing from dialogs,
   check for .VBX files in your \WINDOWS directory.  .VBX files
   should only reside in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.

Once the driver launches Windows, you will be placed in 640x480
16-color mode and prompted to select your monitor type.  Select 
the brand monitor you have, compatible type, or use the Custom 
Monitor Timings to create your own configuration and custom 
screen centering.

*  Icon fonts are controlled by InControl Tools.  When changing
   modes back to VGA or a non-Diamond driver, these settings
   still remain.  To change back to default icon font, search
   the WIN.INI file for the IconTypeFace, IconTypeStyle, and
   IconTypeSize lines.  Place a semicolon (;) in front of these
   lines or remove the lines entirely.

*  Only resolutions that have been selected as supported in the
   Display module will be available in the Viewport choices.  If
   your monitor can display a resolution provided by the card,
   go to Display and select a monitor that offers that mode and
   refresh, or select Custom Monitor Timings and Add the mode.

*  If Windows only displays a single alphabetic character for the
   icon font, select a different font from the list of InControl
   Tools.  Windows may not support the font type/size requested
   in the resolution and resource size displayed.

*  If you had screen savers loaded previously, and they seem not
   to load on startup any longer, see the message at the top 
   regarding backing up important files and the limitation down
   below of LOAD= line being replaced and not appended.  This is
   a limitation of the Windows 3.xx SETUP program.


Utilities
---------
STLMODE should be installed for all first-time operations.  This 
program controls the frequencies sent to the monitor for all 
non-Windows programs and will allow the high resolution and high 
color modes to syncronize correctly on your screen.

STLMODE.EXE allows selection of text modes, video emulation modes, 
and monitor mode frequencies for all environments outside of DOS.  
Monitor timing information is saved to the EEPROM on the Stealth 
Pro and is automatically loaded on powerup or reset.

Users with monitors not conforming to the industry preset monitors
provided can select the CUSTOM MONITOR option which allows 
selection of frequencies, sync polarities, and screen centering 
for each video resolution and color depth.  Please consult your 
monitor manual for the exact capabilities of your monitor before 
selecting monitor timing.  We strongly urge that selection of 
monitor timings in CUSTOM be made for all resolutions and color 
depths.
