Radius MultiView 24 Release 1.03
=================================

Overview
========
This directory contains several useful utilities for the MultiView 24.


Files Included
==============
    README.COM     Utility for viewing README.TXT.
    README.TXT     This file.
    INSTALL.EXE    DOS drivers and utilities installation program.  This
                   program is called from the INSTALL.EXE located in the
                   root directory.
    MV24SET.EXE    Radius MultiView 24 setup utility.
    MV24INIT.EXE   Radius MultiView ROM replacement program.
    CLR24.EXE      Radius MultiView 24 screen clear utility for dual-
                   screen systems.
    FPP1024.EXE    Full Page Pivot 1024x768 fixup utility.


Installation
============
To install any of these utilities on your hard disk, type:

        A:
        CD \
        INSTALL

A series of menus and instructions will guide you through the installation
process.  Note that FPP1024.EXE will only show up in the utility and
driver selection menu if at least one of the following is true:

o There is an SVGA MultiView in the system, with DIP switch 5 set ON,
  indicating that it is attached to a Radius Full Page Pivot display.  If
  the SVGA MultiView is connected directly to the Full Page Pivot (i.e.,
  it is not connected pass-through to the same monitor as the MultiView
  24), then you do not need FPP1024 for any of the SVGA MultiView modes.

o The MultiView 24 has been configured for a Radius Full Page Pivot
  display through the MV24SET utility.  Since MV24SET is not run until
  after the initial INSTALL process is completed, FPP1024 may not show up
  in the menu the first time.  Simply run INSTALL again after running
  MV24SET if you need to install FPP1024.


MV24SET.EXE
===========
MV24SET.EXE is the setup program for the MultiView 24.  It must be run in
order to enable the ROM and select its address, and to select a monitor
type and appropriate refresh rates.  MV24SET will be run automatically the
first time INSTALL is run on a new MultiView 24.  If you wish to change
your ROM address or monitor type or refresh rate after the first time
installation to your hard disk, type

    C:\MV24\MV24SET

at the DOS prompt, or just

    MV24SET

if you chose to add the MV24 directory to your path during the
installation process.


MV24INIT.EXE
============
MV24INIT.EXE is an optional substitute for the on-board ROM.  It performs
the same initialization as the ROM does on power-up.  This program should
only be installed if MV24SET has been run and it has been determined that
the on-board ROM must be disabled due to unresolveable address conflicts.
If MV24INIT is used to replace the ROM, it must be run every time the
system is booted, preferably as part of the AUTOEXEC.BAT.  The INSTALL
utility will automatically add MV24INIT to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you
so choose.  To install MV24INIT, run INSTALL from the Utilities and
Drivers disk, select MV24INIT, and complete the installation according to
the on-screen instructions.


CLR24.EXE
=========
CLR24.EXE is a screen clearing utility for the MultiView 24 when it is
used in a dual-screen configuration (VGA and MultiView 24 connected to
separate monitors).  If an application leaves a graphics image on the
MultiView 24 screen after exiting, CLR24.EXE can be run to clear the image
from the MultiView 24 screen.  To run this utility after installation to
your hard disk, type:

    C:\MV24\CLR24

at the DOS prompt, or just

    CLR24

if you chose to add the MV24 directory to your path during the
installation process.


FPP1024.EXE
===========
FPP1024.EXE is a utility for 1024x768 modes when the MultiView 24 is
connected to a Radius Full Page Pivot display.  It is useful under the
following circumstances:

o Running standard 8514/A programs at 1024x768 resolution on a 
  MultiView 24.

o Running SVGA MultiView programs at 1024x768 when the SVGA MultiView is
  connected pass-through to the MultiView 24.

Without this utility, programs written for the 8514/A or SVGA MultiView at
1024x768 may cause the display area to "bloom" on the Full Page Pivot,
i.e., the top and bottom of the display area will be off the visible
screen.  FPP1024 is a terminate-and-stay-resident program which corrects
this problem.  When loaded, it uses approximately 1k bytes of system RAM.

FPP1024 has two settings -- ON and OFF.  The ON setting is used to correct
the "blooming" problem for the 1024x768 resolution.  The OFF setting is
used for the specific instance when a program is written for the 8514/A's
640x480 resolution.  If the 1024x768 utility is ON, the 640x480 mode will
be compressed vertically.  Refer to the following table for the setting
required for specific modes.  Programs written specifically for the
MultiView 24, or for other VGA or SVGA MultiView modes do not require
FPP1024, and are also not affected if it is loaded.

+-------------------+--------------+----------------+------------------+
|  Program written  |  Resolution  |  Pass-through  |  Correct FPP1024 |
|  for:             |              |  connected     |  setting:        |
+-------------------+--------------+----------------+------------------+
|  SVGA MultiView   |  1024x768    |  Yes           |  ON              |
+-------------------+--------------+----------------+------------------+
|  8514/A           |  640x480     |  N/A           |  OFF             |
+-------------------+--------------+----------------+------------------+
|  8514/A           |  1024x768    |  N/A           |  ON              |
+-------------------+--------------+----------------+------------------+

N/A = Not Applicable.  Whether or not a VGA is connected pass-through has
no effect on 8514/A modes.


To load FPP1024 or to change its settings once it is loaded, use one of
the following command lines at the DOS prompt:

FPP1024 ON -- This will load FPP1024 if it is not already loaded, and turn
on the fix for 1024x768 mode.

FPP1024 OFF -- This will load FPP1024 if it is not already loaded, and
turn off the fix for 1024x768 mode.  Again, this setting is only necessary
for running programs written for the 640x480 mode of the 8514/A.

To find out if FPP1024 is currently loaded and what its current setting
is, or to get help with the command-line options, simply type FPP1024.

If you find that you are frequently loading FPP1024, you may want to add
it to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that it will be loaded every time you boot
your system.  Assuming you have installed the MultiView 24 software in the
C:\MV24 directory, add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to do
this:

        C:\MV24\FPP1024 ON


FPP1024 uses two system interrupts -- INT 08h (the system timer) and INT
10h (the video interrupt).  It does not take over these interrupts, but it
does hook itself into the chain for these vectors.  This information is
provided in case you suspect a conflict between FPP1024 and any of your
peripherals, device drivers, or other TSR's.
