Dear OS/2 User,

We know you have all been waiting patiently, and the second beta 
release of SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 is finally here! This 
version is still a little rough around the edges for the installation 
process, as we have not completed the GUI configuration programs yet. 
Configuring the drivers is a little cumbersome and done with command 
line utilities for the moment, but we are now working on the dialog 
driven installation program and control panel utilities.

Please read the readme.txt file included in the ZIP file archive 
thoroughly before attempting to install SDD for OS/2.  

For those who are interested we also have the MGL fully ported and 
running under OS/2 fullscreen sessions. The first beta release is 
already available on our ftp site, and we expect to have the next 
beta release ready soon with bug fixes and updates.

Where to find the SDD for OS/2 beta
-----------------------------------

You can download the install ZIP file from SciTech's ftp site:

 ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/sddos2_10_b2.zip

and  

 ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/ibmgradd.zip

The ibmgradd.zip file contains all the IBM 0.77 GRADD files needed by 
the installation. You will only need to download and unzip this 
archive once for all beta releases (make sure you unzip with -d!).


Supported Hardware
------------------

This is a complete list of the various graphics cards that this 
version of SciTech Display Doctor supports. Please note that this 
list refers to the actual chips being used, not a board-level 
implementation. Thus you will not see any products from Hercules or 
STB on the list, but their products are supported because they use 
S3, Cirrus, Tseng, etc. chips. Also, any card with less than 512KB of 
memory cannot be supported by SciTech Display Doctor.  

Please note that we are in the process of moving all our existing 
device support code to our new SciTech Nucleus device driver 
architecture. If you have a chipset that is not listed below that you 
would like to see supported in SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2, 
please send an email to sddos2@scitechsoft.com to let us know.

We want your feedback!!
-----------------------

Your feedback is important to us, to ensure that we are building a 
product that works the way you want it to. We need feedback from our 
beta testers, both positive and negative. All feedback for the beta 
program should be directed to sddos2@scitechsoft.com for the time 
being (we will soon have a HTML bug reporting page in place).  

** IMPORTANT NOTE **

This version of SciTech Display Doctor is a BETA release and may 
display irregular behavior or fail on your particular system 
configuration.  If possible, SciTech Software recommends that you 
install this software on a non-mission critical system.  Please note 
that installing a beta version of ANY software program is a risk 
which should be considered prior to installation.

Thank you,

SciTech Software, Inc.
