                    FlashKey Developer Kit 1.1  10/13/97
===========================================================================

This file contains last minute information about the FlashKey software.

Currently only Windows 95 (16 & 32 bit) is fully supported.
Windows NT (32 bit) is supported for display only.

The SDK manual is provided in PDF format.  If you need the Adobe Acrobat
Reader, you can get it from www.adobe.com.

New API calls are documented in NEWAPI.TXT in the \FLASHKEY\DOCS directory.

===========================================================================
                             Installation

Windows 95 users who have installed FlashKey software versions 1.0 or older
will need to change the device driver before installing this release.  Open
the System Control Panel, choose the Devices tab, and then expand the entry 
Sound, video and game controllers.  You should see a FlashKey PCI Video 
Device.  If not, expand Other devices.  Double click on FlashKey PCI 
Video Device.  Select the Driver tab and click on Change Driver.  Next, 
click on Have Disk, insert Disk 1 of the FlashKey Setup disks, and click on 
Browse.  Select FKEY.INF from FlashKey Setup Disk 1 (A:\) and click Okay.  
After the driver has been updated, run the setup program from disk 1.

If you are installing the FlashKey for the first time, insert the card into
a PCI slot and connect the pass through cable to your VGA display adapter.  
After the FlashKey card is installed, select "Driver from disk supplied
by hardware manufacturer" when prompted by Windows 95.  This will install
the basic VXD that controls the FlashKey card.

To install the FlashKey Software Developer kit:

   Run SETUP.EXE from disk 1.

   Make sure and restart your system before using the FlashKey software.

   You will need to align the video overlay to your display mode
   by running FKGRAB (or FKGRAB32) and selecting Align from the
   Setup menu.  The Auto button should align the overlay.

   Make sure to select Composite or SVideo from the Setup/Video menu.

   Choose Save Settings from the File menu to save your selections.

You should add the FlashKey LIB and INCLUDE directories to your
compiler's search paths before compiling the example code or your own
FlashKey applications.  Alternately, copy the .LIB and .H files to
directories already in the search paths.
