PRODUCT SUMMARY
---------------
Touchware 5.4 provides support for touchscreen 
operation on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0, using a 
true 32-bit implementation of the driver and control
panel.

TouchWare for Windows allows the MicroTouch touchscreen
to act like a mouse device for use with any application 
running under Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0.

ENHANCEMENTS
------------

* TouchWare 5.4 includes an auto orientation detect function 
  that determines the relative position of the sensor to the 
  monitor upon calibration.

* TouchWare 5.4 provides the ability to switch between 
  2-point and 5-point calibration depending on user 
  preference.

* In TouchWare 5.4, the functions previously found on the 
  Special tab can now be accessed from the Tools tab. In 
  addition, this dialog calls an Advanced Touchscreen 
  Properties dialog that enables you to perform a 
  significant number of new functions including:
  - Enable Noise Filter
  - Enable Linearization
  - Disable Splash Screen
  - Disable Calibration Reminder
  - Disable Calibration Verification
  - Enable Video Diagnostic Tools
  - Enable Touch Modes

* TouchWare 5.4 adds a preset timeout to terminal mode.

* TouchWare 5.4 includes what had previously been separate 
  software as TouchWare for ThruGlass, TouchWare for 
  MousePort and TouchWare for USB.

* Advanced users now have the option of implementing 25-point 
  linearization for each touchscreen.

* TouchWare 5.4 supports Multiple Monitor configurations in 
  Windows 9X and Windows NT 4.0. The following hardware has

KNOWN ANOMALIES
---------------

1. If your system has difficulty during startup, you may be
   experiencing timing conflicts with some anti-virus 
   software. Timing conflicts can occur when more than one 
   program  attempts to load as Windows starts up. Refer to 
   the anti-virus software manufacturer's website for 
   additional information on how to resolve these timing 
   issues.

2. In planning to use a touchscreen without a mouse or 
   keyboard installed, you must first remove the mouse and
   reboot. Then, using the keyboard, you can disable the 
   Windows dialog warning "Mouse not found". Finally,
   remove the keyboard and reboot the system.

3. If you are installing a MousePort controller, you must 
   disconnect as well as disable any existing PS/2 mouse
   drivers/hardware prior to installing TouchWare.  Verify 
   IRQ 12 is not being used by the system.  Even if the hardware 
   is disconnected, the system may still be claiming the IRQ.  

   Note: Some styles of laptop mice cannot be physically removed.
   However, they can usually be disabled.  

4. The setup program does not remove the DOSTOUCH 
   program from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file during a 
   Windows 95 upgrade installation.

5. The setup program will only look for the default 
   directories for previous TouchWare versions on the 
   target system when doing a Windows 95 upgrade 
   installation.

6. Some older video cards may cause conflicts with COM 4. 
   Refer to Article ID: Q127138 in the Microsoft Technical 
   Support Knowledge base for further information.
