AVGA1 GEM/VP driver description:

    SDAVGA86.VGA - 800x600 16 color driver file


Installing the AVGA1 graphics driver for GEM 3.0/3.13

1)  Install GEM as described in the documentation included with the software.
If GEM is already installed on your system, go to Step 2.

2)  Go to the subdirectory where GEM is installed.

    Example:  C:\> cd\gemapps\gemsys

3)  Delete any other screen driver files with the .VGA extension from the
\GEMAPPS\GEMSYS directory.  

    Example:  C:\>GEMAPPS\GEMSYS> del *.vga

If you want to preserve any of the existing driver files, be sure to rename
the driver files to any name other than one that begins with "SD" and ends
with ".VGA".

    Example:  DSAVGA86.AGV

4)  Place the AVGA1 Driver Disk in drive A and close the door.	Copy the
GEM/VP driver SDAVGA86.VGA from drive A to your hard disk.

    Example:  C:\GEMAPPS\GEMSYS> copy a:\gemvp\SDAVGA86.VGA

5)  To ensure that the mouse will work correctly, you must run the GEM
installation program to reset the mouse type.  Do the following:

    a)  Get the original GEM distribution disks and put the one labeled
"SYSTEM MASTER" into drive A.  Close the door, and goto A by typing "A:".

    b)  Run the installation program by typing "GEMSETUP".

    c)  When prompted, choose 'Change existing configuration', 'Continue',
'Change current setup', and then select the mouse entry.  Choose the entry
from the list that corresponds to your mouse, and reset the mouse even if
the setup looks correct.

    d)  Answer the rest of the questions, saving the new setup.

6)  Run the application as before, by typing GEM.

    Example:  C:\> gem


Installing the AVGA1 Graphics Display Driver for Ventura Publisher 2.0

1)  Install VP as described in the documentation included with the software.
If VP is already installed on your system, go to Step 2.

2)  Go to the subdirectory where Ventura is installed.

    Example:  C:\> cd\ventura

3)  Place the AVGA1 Driver Disk in drive A and close the door.	Copy both
driver files listed above to your hard disk directory C:\>VENTURA>

    Example:  C:\VENTURA> copy a:*.vga

4)  Use any text editor to modify the batch file used to run VP.  The file
is in the root directory, and named VP.BAT or VPPROF.BAT.  Change the entry
for the screen driver to use the AVGA1 driver.	For example,

    Change the line that reads:  DRVRMRGR %1 /S=SDFVGAH5.VGA/M=01

    To read:  DRVRMRGR %1 /S=SDAVGA86.VGA/M=01
	      
5)  Run the application as before, by typing VP or VPPROF.

    Example:  C:\> vp
