                        SOFTWARE DISK CONTENTS
                    ******************************

The WACOM software diskette contains several files in the root directory 
(INSTALL.BAT, PEN.INF, README.TXT, SETUP.EXE, and SETUP.LST). There are 
directories containing software drivers, test utilities, and installation 
files. The directories are:

ADI       Contains ADI 4.2 protected-mode drivers for AutoCAD release 12 and 13.

ADOBE     Contains the plugin for pressure and eraser support for Windows 95.

DOS       Contains files for installing your WACOM Tablet under DOS and the 
          utilities for testing your tablet.

SETUP     Contains setup files for installing your WACOM Tablet in Windows.

WIN       Contains software drivers for Windows 3.1 and 95.

WIN\NT    Contains software drivers for Windows NT.
                 

                    ******************************
                        SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
                    ******************************

--- WINDOWS 95 INSTALLATION ---

1)  Install your tablet hardware. If it has a power switch, turn it on.

2)  Turn on your computer, Windows 95 will start.

3)  If the New Hardware Found dialog box appears as Windows 95 starts up,
    cancel the automatic installation process.

4)  After Windows95 has started completely, insert the backup copy of your 
    WACOM software diskette in a floppy drive. 

5)  Select Run under the Start button. Type A:\SETUP and click OK. Follow 
    the instructions on the screen.

6)  Restart Windows to activate your tablet.


--- DOS INSTALLATION ---

IMPORTANT: If you are using a DOS shell under Windows 95 or NT to emulate 
           DOS, do not install the DOS drivers.  The tablet will be able to 
           control the mouse pointer, in a DOS shell, once the WACOM driver 
           for Windows is installed.

1)  Insert the backup copy of your WACOM software diskette into a floppy 
    drive.

2)  At the system prompt, type the drive name, a colon, and the INSTALL 
    command (for example, A:\INSTALL).

3)  Use your keyboard arrow keys to select DOS installation.  Press Enter. 

4)  Follow the instructions on the screen.

The installation program creates a WACOM directory and copies the appropriate 
files there.  It also asks if you want to modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to 
automatically load the WMOUSE driver, and add the WACOM directory to your path.

                       SOFTWARE INSTALLATION MODIFICATIONS
                    *****************************************

--- WINDOWS 95 ---

1)  To add Windows 3.0 mode support, edit the 'SYSTEM.INI' and change the 
    'mouse.drv' line to read 'mouse.drv=wacpen.drv'.  Restart and check
    the Windows 3.0 mode box in the Preferences window.

2)  To add Pen Services 2.0 support, edit the 'SYSTEM.INI' and add the 
    lines 'OpenDrv16=penwindows' to the [Pen Driver] section, and
    'penwindows=penwin.dll' to the [drivers] section.  The Windows 95 
    version of the file "penwin.dll" must be located in the \SYSTEM 
    subdirectory of Windows 95.  To enable the side switch add
    "BarrelEvent=1" to the registry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
    Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pen".
    Note: Wintab support must be disabled and any pen drivers from
    Microsoft must be disabled. 


                    *******************************
                       ERASER-AWARE APPLICATIONS
                    *******************************

ArtPad II and UltraPad are fully compatible with all Windows applications,
including your favorite business applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, 
and PowerPoint.  Or, use one of the many graphics applications (such as those 
shown below) that are eraser-aware:

  Fractal Design Dabbler 1.1a & 2
    Support for the Erasing UltraPen is built-in.  When the eraser end of the 
    UltraPen is placed on the tablet, Dabbler will automatically switch to 
    the eraser tool.

  Fractal Design Painter 4
    Fractal Design Painter 4 has built-in support for the eraser. It allows you to freely assign 
    the eraser to any tool in the tool palette. In the tool-selection menu, simply use the eraser 
    to select the tool you want to assign to the eraser, and use the tip to select the tool you 
    want to assign to the pen tip. Painter will remember your selection for each end of the 
    pen, and turning the pen around will switch from one tool to the other. 

  FutureWave SmartSketch 1.0R2 & 95
    Support for the Erasing UltraPen is built-in.  When the eraser end of the 
    UltraPen is placed on the tablet, SmartSketch will automatically switch 
    to the eraser tool.

  Adobe Photoshop 3.0.4
    Eraser support under Windows 95 requires the PRESSURE.8BX plugin located in
    the ADOBE subdirectory. When the eraser end of UltraPen is placed on the tablet, 
    Photoshop will automatically switch to the eraser tool.

  Ron Scott QFX 5.1
    Support for the Erasing UltraPen is built-in.  When the eraser end of the 
    UltraPen is placed on the tablet, QFX will either undo the last paint 
    stroke or erase with pressure.

  Corel Draw / PhotoPaint 6
    Support for the Erasing UltraPen will be built-in starting at revision 6.00.118.

                       APPLICATION INFORMATION
                    *****************************

  AutoCad Release 13
    Only releases 13c4 and higher work fully under Windows95 with Wintab compatible 
    digitizers. Apply AutoCAD13patches to fix this bug (available from AutoDesk). 

  MicroStation 5 / 95
    Some cursor button assignments inside MicroStation require special button
    settings of the WACOM Control Panel. WACOM recommends to start with 
    DEFAULT settings of MicroStation button assignments. Depending on the required
    button assignments, it may be necessary to change the button settings in the
    Wacom Control Panel before the new assignments inside MicroStation.
    If there are any problems in partitioning the tablet inside MicroStation, 
    enter the Wacom Control Panel and re-define the puck button assignments.


                    ******************************
                     LATE BREAKING NEWS ABOUT THE
                       WACOM DRIVER FOR WINDOWS
                    ******************************

The following features in the WACOM Control Panel are not currently 
functional, they will be available in future releases of the driver.  The 
next driver release is scheduled for October 1995.  This driver can be 
downloaded from the WACOM BBS, Internet, America Online and CompuServe.

--- WINDOWS 95 ---

    Orientation:        Allows you to change the orientation of the tablet.
    ABS, REL Buttons:   These menu strips buttons are inactive until the next
                        release of the WACOM driver.  The tablet can be 
                        switched to relative mode by setting aspect to relative 
                        in the Scaling Setup window of the WACOM control panel.
    Portion of Tablet / 
      Set Tablet:       Allows you to define the active tablet area with the pen
                        or the puck.
    Load / Save:        Allows to load and save specific driver settings


                    ******************************
                              KNOWN BUGS
                    ******************************

--- WINDOWS 95 ---

1)  If the WACOM message appears on the button of the screen during start-up
    of Windows95 but the cursor can not be moved with the pen or puck, delete the tablet id
    (f.e. WAC0608) in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\SERENUM
    using REGEDIT.EXE.

2)  If the tablet is not found by Windows95, change the name of the Windows file 
    SERENUM.VXD (f.e. to SERENUM.VX1) and install the WACOM driver again.

3)  If the mouse was replaced by a WACOM Tablet and the cursor disappears from the 
    screen after a few seconds, it is necessary to expand the file OLDMOUSE.DR_
    (located in the WIN subdirectory on the WACOM install floppy) to 
    OLDMOUSE.DRV in the windows\system subdirectory.
    (Example: A:\WIN\>expand oldmouse.dr_ c.\windows\system\oldmouse.drv)
    Then the file SYSTEM.INI has to be edited: 
    The line "mouse.drv" in the [boot] section has to be changed to
      mouse.drv=oldmouse.drv
    After a restart of Windows95 the problem should have disappeared.

4)  If you are leaving your Microsoft Mouse attached, you will no longer be 
    able to access the extended mouse features from within the Mouse control 
    panel with Mouse driver v8.2 or above.  To access the extended features 
    of the 9.0 mouse driver, run MOUSEMGR.EXE (you usually have an icon for 
    Mouse Manager in your Mouse group).


                    ******************************
                       MODIFICATIONS TO WINDOWS
                       SYSTEM.INI AND REGISTRY
                    ******************************

';oldmouse'.  If the mouse driver is replaced by WACPEN.DRV; wacpen will
load the oldmouse driver.

Under the [drivers] section:
        [drivers]
            .
            .
        pen=wacom.drv

Setup adds a new section to your SYSTEM.INI file called [Pen Driver].

Under the [Pen Driver] section:
        [Pen Driver]
        ComPort=1
        9600baud=1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\WACOM

And it also adds:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\SERENUM\{tablet id}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\PEN

---  WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS AFTER  ---
--- INSTALLING THE WACOM DRIVER FOR WINDOWS ---

When the Windows setup program is run, your current SYSTEM.INI file is copied 
to a backup file named SYSWAC.000.  The filename increments each time an 
install is performed.  In the event that after installation Windows 95 fails 
to start, from your Windows directory (C:\WINDOWS) type 'copy SYSWAC.??? 
SYSTEM.INI'.  Your settings before you ran setup will be restored and Windows 
should work as it did before the install.  If you have any problems with
installation please refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual.
