                       SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
                    ******************************

--- WINDOWS 95 PLUG AND PLAY INSTALLATION ---

1)  Install your tablet hardware.  If it has a power switch, turn it on.

2)  Turn on your computer, Windows 95 will start.

3)  Insert the backup copy of your WACOM software diskette in a floppy drive. 
    If the New Hardware Found dialog box appears as Windows 95 starts up, go 
    to step 4.  If not, skip to step 6.

4)  Select the option 'Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer.' 
    Press Enter.

5)  Type the drive name (for example, A:\) and press Enter.  Follow the 
    instructions that appear.  Skip to step 7.

6)  Select Run under the Start button.  Type A:\SETUP and click OK. Follow 
    the instructions on the screen.

7)  Restart Windows to activate your tablet.


--- WINDOWS 3.1 AND WINDOWS NT INSTALLATION ---

1)  Start Windows.  Be sure all other applications are closed.

2)  Insert the backup copy of your WACOM software diskette into a floppy 
    drive.

3)  From the Program Manager File menu, select Run and press Enter.

4)  Type the floppy drive name followed by a colon and the setup command (for 
    example, A:\SETUP).  Press Enter and follow the instructions that appear.

5)  Restart Windows to activate your tablet.


--- DOS INSTALLATION ---

IMPORTANT: If you are using a DOS shell under Windows 95 or NT to emulate 
           DOS, do not install the DOS drivers.  The tablet will be able to 
           control the mouse pointer, in a DOS shell, once the WACOM driver 
           for Windows is installed.  If you want to use the tablet in a DOS 
           shell under Windows 3.1 you must load the WACOM mouse emulation 
           driver before running Windows.

1)  Insert the backup copy of your WACOM software diskette into a floppy 
    drive.

2)  At the system prompt, type the drive name, a colon, and the INSTALL 
    command (for example, A:\INSTALL).

3)  Use your keyboard arrow keys to select DOS installation.  Press Enter. 

4)  Follow the instructions on the screen.

The installation program creates a WACOM directory and copies the appropriate 
files there.  It also asks if you want to modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to 
automatically load the WMOUSE driver, and add the WACOM directory to your path.


                    ******************************
                       ERASER-AWARE APPLICATIONS
                    ******************************

ArtPad II and ArtZ II are fully compatible with all Windows applications,
including your favorite business applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, 
and PowerPoint.  Or, use one of the many graphics applications (such as those 
shown below) that are eraser-aware:

  Fractal Design Dabbler 1.1a
    Support for the Erasing UltraPen is built-in.  When the eraser end of the 
    UltraPen is placed on the tablet, Dabbler will automatically switch to 
    the eraser tool.

  FutureWave SmartSketch 1.0R2
    Support for the Erasing UltraPen is built-in.  When the eraser end of the 
    UltraPen is placed on the tablet, SmartSketch will automatically switch 
    to the eraser tool.

  Adobe Photoshop 3.0.4
    Support for the Erasing UltraPen is built-in under Windows NT.  Eraser 
    support under Windows 95 requires the PRESSURE.8BX plugin located in the 
    ADOBE subdirectory.  Built in support for the eraser under Windows 3.1
    will happen in a future release of Adobe Photoshop.  When the eraser end 
    of UltraPen is placed on the tablet, Photoshop will automatically switch 
    to the eraser tool.

  Ron Scott QFX 5.1
    Support for the Erasing UltraPen is built-in.  When the eraser end of the 
    UltraPen is placed on the tablet, QFX will either undo the last paint 
    stroke or erase with pressure.

                     LATE BREAKING NEWS ABOUT THE
                       WACOM DRIVER FOR WINDOWS
                    ******************************

The following features in the WACOM Control Panel are not currently 
functional, they will be available in future releases of the driver.  The 
next driver release is scheduled for October 1995.  This driver can be 
downloaded from the WACOM BBS, Internet, America Online and CompuServe.

--- WINDOWS 3.1 AND 95 ---

    Orientation:      Allows you to change the orientation of the tablet.
    ABS, REL Buttons: These menu strips buttons are inactive until the next
                      release of the WACOM driver.  The tablet can be 
                      switched to relative mode by setting aspect to relative 
                      in the Scaling Setup window of the WACOM control panel.

--- WINDOWS NT ---

    Context Aware:  Provides eraser support for non-eraser aware programs.
    Menu Strip:     Brings up the Menu Strip Setup Window.
    Orientation:    Allows you to change the orientation of the tablet.
    Pointers:       Brings up the Pointers Setup Window.
    Tilt:           Brings up the Tilt Setup Window.


                    ******************************
                              KNOWN BUGS
                    ******************************

--- WINDOWS 3.1 ---

1)  If using the PC Speaker driver, be sure the interrupts are enabled.  If 
    they are disabled, the tablet may freeze.  The PC Speaker Control panel 
    is found under control panel, drivers, PC Speaker, Setup.

2)  If you are leaving your Microsoft Mouse attached, you will no longer be 
    able to access the extended mouse features from within the Mouse control 
    panel with Mouse driver v8.2 or above.  To access the extended features 
    of the 9.0 mouse driver, run MOUSEMGR.EXE (you usually have an icon for 
    Mouse Manager in your Mouse group).

3)  PENWIN.DLL is copied to the hard drive by the WACOM setup program.  If 
    activated, the following problems and changes occur in Windows:

    *  Windows Write will not open (Out of Memory Error).

    *  Drag and Drop will not function in Word 6.0.

    *  The cursor disappears in the Excel edit window.

    *  The input boxes in File Manager are larger.

    To restore proper operation, remove 'penwindows=penwin.dll' from the 
    [drivers] section of the SYSTEM.INI and restart.
    
    NOTE: PENWIN.DLL is a Microsoft library.

    NOTE: PENWIN.DLL must be active to receive pressure in Photoshop 3.04 or 
          less in Windows 3.1.

4)  There is a conflict between PENWIN.DLL and ATI video card drivers.  If 
    you use an ATI graphics card we recommend you remove PENWIN.DLL.  If you 
    use Photoshop please contact ATI for updated video drivers that are 
    PENWIN.DLL compatible.

5)  Relative scaling will not function with both Pen Windows and Wintab 
    enabled.  If you need to run the tablet in relative mode turn off either
    Pen Windows or Wintab in the Pointers screen.

6)  To add Windows 3.0 mode support, edit the 'SYSTEM.INI' and change the 
    'mouse.drv' line to read 'mouse.drv=wacpen.drv'.  Restart and check
    the Windows 3.0 mode box in the Preferences window.

7)  If the cursor vanishes in an application, expand the oldmouse driver
    from the disk to the windows system subdirectory.  (ie. EXPAND
    A:\WIN\OLDMOUSE.DR_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OLDMOUSE.DRV )


--- WINDOWS 95 ---

1)  To add Windows 3.0 mode support, edit the 'SYSTEM.INI' and change the 
    'mouse.drv' line to read 'mouse.drv=wacpen.drv'.  Restart and check
    the Windows 3.0 mode box in the Preferences window.

2)  To add Pen Services 2.0 support, edit the 'SYSTEM.INI' and add the 
    lines 'OpenDrv16=penwindows' to the [Pen Driver] section, and
    'penwindows=penwin.dll' to the [drivers] section.  The Windows 95 
    version of the file "penwin.dll" must be located in the \SYSTEM 
    subdirectory of Windows 95.  To enable the side switch add
    "BarrelEvent=1" to the registry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
    Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pen".
    Note: Wintab support must be disabled and any pen drivers from
    Microsoft must be disabled. 

--- WINDOWS NT ---
