----------------------------------------------
1. Description of Files Contained on This Disk
----------------------------------------------
\Utils Folder:
  Contains a collection of useful utility programs that can be
  used to provide you with information about your Frag Master.  
  The following describes each of the included utilities:

  JoyView.Exe    - JoyView is a ThrustMaster utility that is
                   useful for testing all kinds of game devices
                   operating (or not operating) under Windows.
                   Joyview works with ThrustMaster and other
                   brands of game devices.

  TMScope        - TMScope is a trusty DOS utility that is handy
                   for checking the operation of game devices
                   under DOS or Windows 9x DOS mode.  If you are
                   having trouble using the joystick (or any other
                   game control) in DOS mode, use TMScope to see
                   what is going on.

\directx Folder:
  This folder contains all the files necessary to install DirectX
  on your system.  If you need to install DirectX 5,  we recommend
  that you use the Frag Master Setup program to begin the 
  installation instead of running it directly from one of the 
  \directx subfolders.

  The version of DirectX on this disk is v5.2a.


-----------------------------------
2. Software Installation Procedure
-----------------------------------
If you haven't already figured it out, here is how to install the 
ThrustMaster Frag Master software:

  1.  Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive.

  2.  If your system is AutoPlay-enabled, the Setup program will
      start automatically.  If your system is not AutoPlay-
      enabled, you can open the "My Computer" folder on your
      desktop and then double-click on the drive letter that
      corresponds with your CD-ROM drive.  The Setup program will
      begin to run.

  3.  Follow the instructions and prompts given by the Setup
      program.  Setup will perform several checks on your system,
      and guide you through the steps needed to get your Frag 
      Master controller up and running with your system.  


------------------------------
3. Frag Master Notes
------------------------------
The Frag Master controller is a revolutionary break through in 
first person action controllers.  No other controller gives you 
such two handed intuitive control.  Using the cables' pigtail, 
other ThrustMaster digital products can be connected to your 
computer at the same time.  Just run the Properties Panel or the 
Activator for the product you want to use.

  - The DirectConnect technology included in the design of the 
    Frag Mastesr allows the game pad unlimited configurability. 
    The Frag Master can also be configured to control your mouse 
    cursor.

 
3.1. Known Issues using Frag Master under Windows 95/98
----------------------------------------------------

 - Connecting the Frag Master to your system's game port through
   an external joystick switch box or extension cable may
   cause the controller to behave erratically.  We recommend
   that you connect it directly to the game port if possible.

 - The "question mark" button on the Frag Master Properties panel does
   not display context help.

   Software Updates
   ----------------
   Software updates for all ThrustMaster software is posted regularly
   on the Frag Master web site (www.frag-master.com) or ThrustMaster's 
   web site (www.thrustmaster.com).  Please check there for technical
   support information as well as software updates.


3.2. Using Frag Master with DOS Games
--------------------------------
The Fusion will NOT work when your system is in MS-DOS mode or
started using native DOS.  This is because the drivers that
communicate with the device require a Windows environment in
which to run.


-----------------------------------------------
4. Getting help with your ThrustMaster product
-----------------------------------------------
You can contact ThrustMaster Customer Support by telephone at 
(503) 615-3200, 9:00am - 6:00pm Pacific time, or by Internet
via our World Wide Web site at www.thrustmaster.com.


4.1. Determining which software version you have
-------------------------------------------------
When you call customer support, software version numbers help to 
resolve problems.

For all ThrustMaster software developed for Windows, select the
"Help" menu bar option, then choose the "About" heading to find
the version information. The version number is in the form

                         XX.XX.XXXX .

For files that are not applications (such as drivers or DLLs) you
can use the Windows Explorer to examine the file's Properties. 
Selecting the "Version" tab will display the file's version number.

Our tech support personnel may ask if you have the JoyView 
utility, which is a program that helps us to track down problems
with your system configuration and/or game device.  JoyView is
included on your Fusion installation CD in the \Utils folder.
