3.2.1   Installation from CD

        The installation of CPView under Windows NT 4.0, is the same
        procedure, as it is under Windows 95, so you have to run the
        CDSETUP.EXE from the root directory of the CD. In the dialog
        comming up now, the hardware and operating system is identified,
        and the available tools are displayed. With the arrow buttons or
        with the mouse you must choose the item "ELSA Windows tools and
        CPView, 32- bit- image viewer" in the window "Installation of:"
        and click "Install".Now the files will be copied. A shortcut to the
        you can find in rpogrem group

        START\PROGRAMS\ELSAWARE\CPView


3.3     Installation under OS/WARP

3.3.1   Installation from CD

        Start the program INSTALL.CMD from the \DIPLOMAT\CPVIEW\OS2
        directory.
        The program copies all necessary files in a given directory
        or generates a new one.

        The syntax of the program is:
                install.cmd <destination directory>
        e.g.        install.cmd C:\OS2\ELSAUTIL

        If there is no given path for <destination directory>, the
        installer copies the files of the Compart viewer to the same
        directory where the ELSA graphics driver is located.

4.      Description of CPView
        The Compart Image Viewer allows to display and print multiple
        image documents with multiple pages of various file formats.
        CPView is a 32 bit application and runs only in Windows 95,
        Windows Nt 4.0 and OS/2 WARP 3.0 and 4.0.

4.1     Features

                - Multiple documents can be loaded into one view.
                - The display size can be freely adjusted so you can
                  page very fast through a document and then read the
                  text with enlarged scaling.
                - The Scale-to-Gray mechanism improves the quality of
                  black/white images so even on small screens it is
                  easy to read the information.
                - Skewed images can be rotated to make them readable.
                - Double page mode allows you to show and read two
                  pages at a time.
