PRODUCT SUMMARY
---------------
This Touchware product 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 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0 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 5.3 provides an option to allow the user 
  to configure a single touchscreen in a dual
  monitor configuration in Windows 95 or NT 4.0. With
  approved hardware, this option will work in Windows
  98 as well.

* TouchWare 5.3 supports a new 'liftoff' touch mode
  similar to TouchWare for Windows NT 4.3.  This mode
  causes a button-down/button-up when the finger is
  removed from the screen.

* TouchWare 5.3 supports a new 'touchdown' touch mode.
  This mode causes a button-down/button-up when the
  user touches the screen.

* TouchWare 5.3 provides an option to allow an NT
  administrator to set site-specific default values 
  which are used when the Restore Defaults function 
  is selected.

* TouchWare setup is enhanced to display a dialog box
  while installing registry items, NT driver, and
  folders to provide better indication of installation
  progress. 
    
* TouchWare 5.3 supports Multiple Monitor configura-
  tions in Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0. The following

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

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

2. 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.

3. The uninstaller does not remove the empty program 
   folder, i.e., C:\Program Files\MicroTouch\Touchware.

4. The user must reboot after uninstalling TouchWare 
   5.3 in order to remove files in use during uninstall.

5. The user is notified when calibration is needed for 
   each touchscreen (unless this function is disabled).
   When a multiple monitor configuration is used and 
   the displays are mirrored, a dialog box will appear 
   for each touchscreen even though the displays are 
   showing the same image.

6. Attempting to open more than one instance of the 
   Terminal tool may cause errors to occur under 
   certain conditions.

7. Some older video cards based on the S3 chip sets may 
   cause conflicts with COM 4. Refer to Article ID:
   Q127138 in the Microsoft Technical Support Knowledge
   base for further information. 

8. The touchscreen should not be connected to COM ports 
   sharing interrupts with other devices such as a
   mouse or a modem.

9. In Windows 98 multiple monitor situations, you can 
   use a single display adapter that splits the desktop 
   between 2 monitors (one touchscreen, one not).  
   However, when using multiple display adapters, all
   monitors must be touchscreens.
