entries. This is highly OS-dependant
- installation of the PC/SC driver (IFD-Handler see below).

Uninstall entries
-----------------
The setup will ALWAYS create the appropriate uninstall entries.
The user can access these through the standard Windows interface:
START->Settings->System->Software->...
The following keys are supported:
* CHIPDRIVE device driver
This will remove ALL CHIPDRIVE related files and registry entries
including the other uninstall entries.
* CHIPDRIVE mouse driver
This will remove the CHIPDRIVE mouse driver only. This can be usefull
especially if the COM-port is to be used for several devices, because
the mousedriver will allocate the comport within the boot sequence.
* CHIPDRIVE PC/SC driver
This will remove only the PC/SC driver
Program options
---------------
The setup module can be called in several ways to fullfill your special
needs within another setup program:
INSTALL OPTIONS
SETUPTWK.EXE [nointro] [noexit] [nopcsc] [nomouse] [base|basealw]

nointro: this option will skip the initial message box ('Do you
want to install...')
noexit: this option will skip the final message box
('Installation OK')

files SCBASE_D.EXE or SCBASE_E.EXE are found in the
current installation path.
basealw: installs the PC/SC base components under Windows
95/98/ME/NT4 without checking whether a newer version
is already installed. However, under Windows 2000, the
componets aren't installed either.

PC/SC support
-------------
Since driver version 2.13.05, the PC/SC interface is fully supported
and available under Windows 95/98/ME and NT4/2000/XP. The CHIPDRIVE
PC/SC driver fully fits into our driver structure. It can be used at
the same time together with any of the other interfaces (CT-API,
SCARD, NETS, ORGA, OCF etc.). The PC/SC driver does NOT occupy a
COM port, but allows you to use any other device after disconnection
of the CHIPDRIVE.
Please note, that using the PC/SC interface under Windows 95/98/ME/NT4
also requires the installation of Microsoft's PC/SC base components.
Since 2.14.17 there is also a driver version available at our homeapge
which includes the the files SCBASE_D.EXE (german) und SCBASE_E.EXE
(english). The base componentes will be installed automatically under
Windows 95/98/ME/NT, if a newer version isn't already present.
Important: Since Windows 2000/XP already includes the latest version
of the PC/SC base components, the CHIPDRIVE driver does
not install them. Furthermore, you must never try to
install the components manually, this will corrupt the
system and a complete re-installation of Windows 2000/XP
could become necessary!
CHIPDRIVE USB support
---------------------
Since version 2.14.16 the driver also supports the USB versions of
the different CHIPDRIVE models unter Windows 98 Second Edition,
Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Older Windows version are
not supported.
The USB devices are accessed via a virtual COM port, this can be
configured with the CHIPDRIVE Diagnosis Tool in the control panel
This provides maximum compatibility with older applications, there
are no changes necessary.
CHIPDRIVE Diagnosis Tool
-----------------------
Since version 2.14.16 s diagnoses tool is installed to the control
panel.
