OEM TRACKPOINT DRIVER FILE LAYOUT

The file layout for the OEM TrackPoint driver kit has changed as of
TrackPoint driver release 2.05.

The new layout now looks like this:

\                 Contains the standard OEM TrackPoint driver for Win9x and
                  NT 4.0

\win2k            Contains the standard OEM TrackPoint driver for Windows 2000

\multiprt         Contains files to support multiple PS/2 ports for the
                  Win9x and NT 4.0 drivers

\win2k\multiprt   Contains files to support multiple PS/2 ports for the
                  Windows 2000 driver


TRACKPOINT DRIVER INSTALLATION FOR STANDARD HARDWARE SYSTEMS

On systems with standard (no multiport) hardware, the Win9x, NT 4.0
TrackPoint Driver can be directly installed from the root (\) directory.
The Windows 2000 TrackPoint Driver can be directly installed from
the \win2k directory.


CREATING TRACKPOINT DRIVER INSTALLATION KITS FOR MULTIPORT HARDWARE SYSTEMS


If you have multiport hardware support on your system you need to
add the multiport support files to the files contains in the standard
drivers, then the driver kit will be multiport ready.


For example, lets assume the original TrackPoint driver kit is on the
a: floppy. The following commands create a TrackPoint driver kit
that is multiport ready.

rem Create the multiport trackpoint driver kit for Win9x and NT 4.0
mkdir c:\tp4kit
copy  a:\*.*                 c:\tp4kit
copy  a:\multiprt            c:\tp4kit

rem Create the multiport trackpoint driver kit for Windows 2000
mkdir c:\tp4kit\win2k
copy  a:\win2k\*.*           c:\tp4kit\win2k
copy  a:\win2k\multiprt\*.*  c:\tp4kit\win2k
