DESCRIPTION:  This SoftPaq unpacks the files required to install 
the video drivers for IBM OS/2 for the ATI Rage Pro Turbo 1x, Rage Pro 
Turbo 2x, and Rage IIC Graphics Controllers used in the above-mentioned 
Deskpro models.  Optionally allows a driver diskette to be created.

These are the first ATI drivers to support the CID (Configuration, 
Installation and Distribution) installation method, IBM software for 
controlling software distribution throughout a network from a central 
source. 

HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a temporary, empty directory on your 
hard drive.  The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable 
with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. From the download directory, execute the SoftPaq.  When executed 
with no parameters, files are extracted into the current directory. 
To extract the files into a different directory, specify the complete 
path of the directory as a parameter:

     SPxxxx <path> 

Enter "Y" to confirm and files are unpacked into the download 
directory or the directory specified.  

3. After the files have been created, you may delete the  
self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.

4. The driver may be installed directly from the files on the download 
directory or driver diskette can be created. To create a driver diskette,
run MAKEDISK.BAT. If installing from diskette the following Volume Label
Name must be assigned to the diskette: MACH640S2

To install the driver, run SETUPATI.CMD.  From an OS/2 full-screen or OS/2 
window session, enter:

     <path>\disk01\setupati.cmd
	where <path> is the drive and directory chosen in step 2

      or 

     A:\setupati.cmd
	if installing from diskette

When prompted to select the Monitor Configuration, choose "Install
Using Defaults for Monitor Type".

5. When the installation is complete, shut down and restart the computer for 
the changes to take effect.

6. After the driver has been installed, you may delete the files 
from the download directory if you wish.
