                       QuickCam Viewer for OS/2
                       ========================

Installation:
-------------

Unpack the zip-file and run the install program.

Contents of the zip-files:
	readme.txt	This file
	history.txt	History of bug fixes
	order.txt	Ordering/registration information
	install.exe	Install program
	quickcam.sys	Device driver
	qv2.exe		QuickCam Viewer
	qv2.hlp		QuickCam Viewer on-line help
	qv2hooks.dll	Desktop Lockup support
	qv2utils.dll	(optional - support utilities)

The install will add the device driver to config.sys on the boot drive
and create an icon on the desktop for the QuickCam Viewer, QV2.

This install can also be used to re-create an icon on the
desktop for QV2, existing config.sys entries are left unchanged.

A reboot is required if the device-driver was not previously
installed.


Parallel Port Notes:
--------------------

It is recommended that you set your parallel port to either AT-mode
or EPP-mode for uni-directional or bi-directional modes, respectively.
Bi-directional mode will give at least double the throughput compared
to uni-directional mode. The parallel port is usually set up using the
BIOS setup on your machine at boot time.


Colour and your Desktop:
------------------------

Owing to the many problems in creating a 256-colour picture from a
16Million one, there is a restriction for 256-colour desktops. The
main problem is the time to analyse and process the picture. So for
now there is a restriction that 256-colour desktops will present a
picture using a greyscale.


Ordering and Registration:
--------------------------

Please see the options off the Help menu or read the file order.txt

Independent JPEG Group.


Problems:
---------

Please send mail to qv2@elad.compulink.co.uk to report any problems
or suggestions for improvements. User suggestions have already lead
to new features being added. If you have an idea for a new variation
of the screen-saver (desktop lockup), let me know.


Thanks.

Dale.
