    Hello, after writing the *BIG* documentation, I discovered that it became
too technical for most people.  However, I wanted to keep it in for the
technically-minded users (and programmers).

    So, I typed up these quick notes.  This is what you should do to use
DimVESA:

  1.  Read this file (to the end).

  2.  Read ORDER.TXT (this is especially important for business users!)

  3.  Run DimVESA, without any command line parameters (just run DimVESA alone)


'til later.

DIMVESA.EXE
Multi-function screen dimmer/VESA DPMS (Energy Star) supporting screen-saver.

DimVESA v3.1
(DOS version)

Alexander C. Eremeef, Douglas Boling and Jeff Prosise        February 14, 1997



See:  DIMMER.DOC for instructions, same parameters apply, except:

        CTRL-ALT-keypress  must be used instead of  ALT-keypress, such as the
        CTRL-ALT-UpArrow combination.  This was to prevent conflicts with some
        programs.


New with v3.1 (minor changes):
------------------------------
      1.  New switch added ('/R'), use '/R' or '/R+' (both have the same
          effect) if your graphics card doesn't support VESA DPMS directly, and
          you are using a driver such as SDD to simulate VESA extensions.

      2.  The documentation has been revised slightly.


New with v3.0:
--------------
      1.  I've added an interactive mode.  Simply run DimVESA from the command
          line, and answer its questions.  You don't have to understand the
          command-line options anymore, in order to use DimVESA.
