I N S T A L L A T I O N ----------------------- Automatic installation: 1. Go to disk drive that has Microstation. Don't worry, it will figure out which is present. 2. Place the driver install diskette in drive A:. 3. Type A:\INSTALL . Then select INSTALL's Microstation PC (Real Mode) Driver menu, press ENTER key and complete the installation. INSTALL will copy the appropriate files to your default directory. 4. Run the USCONFIG program when prompted, selecting the ACTIX GraphicsENGINE driver. It will be found under the Vendor Supplied selection. Manual installation: 1. Go to disk drive that has Microstation. 2. Place the driver install diskette in drive A:. 3. Change to the \USTATION\DRIVERS directory. 4. Copy A:\USTATION\MGLS3.EXE to the current directory. 5. Copy A:\USTATION\MGLS3.MGL to the current directory. 6. Change to the \USTATION directory. 7. Copy A:\USTATION\REMOVE.EXE to the current directory. 8. Run USCONFIG , selecting the ACTIX GraphicsENGINE driver. D R I V E R U S E ------------------- For drivers that do not allow the selection of the resolutions during the installation, the driver will default to the highest resolution as possible. If this is not what you desired, the resolution could be overridden by setting an environment variable as following... set S31_911= Where is: 0 640 x 480, 256 colors 1 800 x 600, 16 colors 2 800 x 600, 256 colors 3 1024 x 768, 16 colors 4 1024 x 768, 256 colors 5 1280 x 960, 16 colors 6 --> Reserved <-- 7 1280 x 1024, 16 colors 8 --> Reserved <-- Please note that not all resolution modes are available. The set S31_911= instruction can be included in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The driver is a TSR (Terminate-and-Stay-Resident) driver that must be invoked before MicroStation PC will run. The driver will accept certain command line options that will change the behavior of the driver. Your GraphicsENGINE board has at least 1 megabyte of DRAM, this driver is supported either 2 pages ( swap screen capability) or supported 256 colors. To select the 256 color option, use the /noswap option When installing the driver in memory. This is usually done by the USTATION.BAT or MCE.BAT files, and they should be modified with an editor. To remove a previous copy of the driver, use the 'remove.exe' program. Examples: 'mgls3' Will install the driver in 16 color mode. If enough DRAM is installed, swap screen will be enabled. 'mgls3 /noswap' Will install the driver, telling it to display the maximum number of colors possible.
