1	Introduction

	This file explains how to install and uninstall the GLoria Heidi
	driver. After the installation process you find additional
	documentation in the help file.
	
1.1 	List of files

	After a successful installation you will find the following
	files in the destination directory:

	GLoria.HDI	Heidi driver for GLoria
	GLoria.HLP	help file

	README.TXT	The file you are reading
	LIESMICH.TXT	German translation of README.TXT

1.2 	How to determine the driver's version number

	There are several ways to get the version number of this driver.

1.2.1 	Using the File Manager or Explorer

	Open the properties of the file GLoria.HDI with File Manager
	or Explorer to read the version string.

1.2.2   Using the file GLoria.INI

	Open the file GLoria.INI in the main directory of 3D Studio MAX.
	The line "GLoria_Driver=..." shows the exact version string.

	Note: This file does only exist if the driver has been used
	      at least once by 3DS MAX!

1.2.3 	Using README.TXT

	At the top of this you should find a header indicating the
	version number. In rare cases this might be outdated, however.
	The first two methods are preferred.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

2	Installation/Uninstallation

2.1     Prerequisites

	Please check the following list of requirements to allow
	sucessful installation and usage of this driver.

	- operating system Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 (Intel)
	- ELSA Windows graphics driver v4.08 or later
	- 3D Studio MAX v1.0, v1.1 or v1.2, already installed
	- graphics controller GLoria-4, GLoria-8, GLoria-M or GLoria-L
	- graphics resolution, which allows for "Double Buffering"
	- color depth of 15bpp (32K colors) or 32bpp (Truecolor)
	- write access to 3D Studio MAX' main directory and its
	  subdirectories

2.2 	Procedure of Installation

	Please make sure 3D Studio MAX is _not_ running.

	Start SETUP.EXE from the same directory that contained this
	README.TXT file.

	The program will progress as follows:

	- Welcome message

	- Query for your 3D Studio MAX main directory. The preset path
	  is the copy of 3DS MAX you installed most recently; in case
	  you have more than one installation on your system you might
	  have to adjust this. Use the "Browse" button to find the
	  proper directory.

	- Only Windows NT 3.51: Query for the Program Group to hold
	  the icons of the help file and the uninstall program.

	- Copying of all files to the directory Drivers in the indicated
	  main directory and storing of uninstall information.

	- Adjustments in 3DSMAX.INI; the former contents of this file is
	  copyied to the file 3DSMAX.INO.

	- Only Windows NT 3.51: Creation of icons the indicated program
	  group.

	- Success message


2.3 	Uninstallation

	The install program records uninstall information, either in the
	program group Kinetix (default for NT3.51) or in
	Start/Settings/Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

3	Differences of GLoria.HDI vs. WGLINT.HDI

	GLoria.HDI is developped on base of WGLINT.HDI, the Heidi driver
	of 3Dlabs for the GLiNT family of graphics chips.

	GLoria.HDI includes some bug fixes and improved performance, and
	should therefore used on ELSA GLoria instead.

	Texture interpolation in GLoria.HDI supports two modes: the
	default of nearest neighbor, and linear interpolation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

4	Documentation

	Please refer to the help file for complete driver documentation.
	You can open this file with the icon in the Kinetix program
	group or with the File Manager/Explorer.
