This README file contains the following information:
           A) Installation of the BigWin Driver
           B) Notes and Known Restrictions
           C) Windows 95 und BigWin95

A) Installation of the BigWin Driver
====================================
  (Only for floppy disk installation. You have to start the installation
  from Media Gallery CD-ROM always with SPEAINST.)

  Start Windows and choose at the Program Manager:
      FILE-RUN
  and type A:\V7SETUP.

B) Notes and Known Restrictions
===============================
V7SETUP:
--------
  1) V7SETUP adds line "BASEADDRESS=0" in SYSTEM.INI under title
  [CAR1K.DRV], required for BigWin. Only if system has more
  than 32 MB RAM, SYSTEM.INI should be edited and this value
  be changed to 1.

  2) If you run Windows programs using a modem you should change
  in SYSTEM.INI under title [CAR1K.DRV] the line CHIPSYNC=0 to
  CHIPSYNC=1.

  3) During the first installation the driver will be installed with the
  lowest possible refresh rate at the chosen resolution.
  If you use a high-class multi-sync monitor and you choose a
  resolution 1024x768 and above, synchronisation problems may occur.
  To prevent this, please choose the resolution 640x480 to start with.
  Afterwards you can test and change to the preferred resolution
  and refresh rate with the utility V7SETUP.

  4) Installing graphics drivers for Windows and Virus Check Programs
  Virus check programs, such as the DOS 6.0 internal one, which search
  for changes at *.exe and *.com files, detect changes at the file
  win.com after installing the SPEA V7 BigWin driver. This is not a
  virus, because while installing the driver, driver supplements will
  be saved in this file.

SPEA BigWin Driver:
-------------------
  1) The SPEA V7 BigWin driver may not be used in 80286 based
  systems.

  2) VDD limitation:  Cannot execute any VGA graphics modes in a
  windowed mode. The XGA driver supplied by Microsoft has a similiar
  limitation.

  3) True Color:
  If you use more than 15 icons in one program group, a message will
  tell you that not all symbols are converted correctly. These symbols
  will be displayed in black.


C) Windows 95 and BigWin95:
===========================
  For Windows 95 SPEA offeres a special Win95 driver: BigWin95.
