  To set up the NVIDIA GRADD Graphics driver installation directory, do the
  following:

  1.  Open an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 window session.

  2.  Before running the GRADDBB.EXE self extracting zip file, 
      create and change the current directory to the "installation directory"
      in which you wish to store the NVGRADD Graphics driver installation files. 
      We suggest C:\NVGRADD. At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following commands:

      C:
      MD \NVGRADD
      CD \NVGRADD

  3.  Use the "-D" and "-O" options on the GRADDBB*.EXE self extracting
      zip file to create the installation directory tree. You should copy
      the GRADDBB*.EXE self extracting zip file to the installation directory
      first. Then at the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command:

      GRADDBB -D -O

  4.  Use SET LANG= to set the correct language. The language may already be
      correctly set in your CONFIG.SYS.  If not, then at the OS/2 command
      prompt, type one of these SET LANG= commands to choose your language:

      SET LANG=ar_AA    for Arabic (English wlth Arabic graphics formatting)
      SET LANG=pt_BR    for Brazil
      SET LANG=zh_CN    for Simplified Chinese
      SET LANG=de_DE    for Germany
      SET LANG=da_DK    for Denmark
      SET LANG=es_ES    for Spain
      SET LANG=el_GR    for Greece (English with Greek graphics formatting)
      SET LANG=fi_FI    for Finland
      SET LANG=fr_FR    for France
      SET LANG=iw_IL    for Israel (English with Hebrew graphics formatting)
      SET LANG=it_IT    for Italy
      SET LANG=ja_JP    for Japan
      SET LANG=ko_KR    for Korea
      SET LANG=nl_NL    for Netherlands
      SET LANG=no_NO    for Norway
      SET LANG=sv_SE    for Sweden
      SET LANG=zh_TW    for Taiwan
      SET LANG=en_US    for English (default)

      Each language has its own copy of this README.TXT file, which may be
      translated from English, as well as other language dependent files.


  5.  At the OS/2 command prompt, type the following command to copy all the
      required files to the OS/2 boot drive:

          <SrcPath>SETUP xxx [<SrcPath>] [<BootDrive>] [/u]

      Where:
          xxx is one of:

	      "NV"    - nVidia Family accelerated GRADD  	

              "GEN"   - Generic VESA Unaccelerated GRADD
              
              "VGA"   - Video Graphics Array (VGA) GRADD

          <SrcPath> for SETUP is required if SETUP is not in the current
                      directory.

          [<SrcPath>] parameter is optional (required if next parameter
                      specified) and is the installation directory.

          [<BootDrive>] is optional and is the drive where OS/2 is installed.

      NOTE: You may be prompted about whether you want to overlay certain files
            where the target file is newer than the source file. In general, you
            should answer YES to all the prompts unless you have previously
            experienced specific problems with the driver and are re-installing it.

      Then press Enter.


  6.  When prompted to do so, shutdown, and then restart your computer.

      ADDITIONAL NOTES:

      1) During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and DSPINSTL.LOG
         files are created or appended to in the OS2\INSTALL directory.  These
         files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated and indicate
         whether the installation was successful and reasons for failure.  The
         contents of these files might be useful if you need to report an
         installation problem to IBM.


  7.  After the computer reboots, do the following to configure correctly for
      your current display and choose an appropriate resolution and refresh
      rate:

      a.  Open the OS/2 System folder.
      b.  Open the System Setup folder.
      c.  Open the System object.
      d.  When the Settings notebook appears, select the Screen tab.
          Then go to Screen Page 2.
      e.  VESA** Display Data Channel (DDC) 1 and 2B protocols are supported
          for automatically detecting DDC displays.
          If your display is DDC compatible, Screen Page 2 should show a
          description of your display.
          If your display is not DDC compatible,
          select your display from the display list on Screen Page 2.
          If your display does not appear in the list, select Default.
      f.  Return to Screen Page 1 and select a resolution and refresh rate.
          Depending your adapter and display, refresh rates may not be
          selectable.
      g.  Close the Settings notebook.
      h.  Shutdown and restart your computer.

  INSTALLING IN A CID ENVIRONMENT
  _______________________________

  NOTES:

  1.  Create a directory on the server (e.g. X:\BBS\GRADD) and extract the
      installation files from the self extracting GRADDBB*.EXE file to the
      X:\BBS\GRADD installation directory as described under the section
      entitled "Extraction".

  2.  You must have OS/2 successfully installed on the client using the CID
      (Configuration Installation Distribution) method.

  3.  To configure display selection, resolution and refresh rate, refer to the
      file "README.CFG" in this package.

  To install a device driver using CID, use the following information to modify
  your LCU command file.  The example below installs the ATI Mach64/Rage GRADD
  (M64GRADD).

  NOTE:  The following information is meant as a guide.
         Your LCU command file might be different.
