1.      Overview

	The program SETUP.EXE is used to install the runtime files
	of ELSA's POWERlib toolkit for Windows environments with your
	application.

	Own applications should use this mechanism to install the
	necessary runtime files, because of the built-in version checking
	mechanism.

	The ELSA POWERlib is also used for ELSA's own CAD driver
	development. To avoid that older runtime files overwrite newer
	ones which were installed with a new ELSA POWERdraft driver,
	the version checking is important.

	New runtime files will be compatible to the older ones, but may
	include additional functionality, which is normally used in
	the newest ELSA drivers.


***********************************************************************

2.      Installation of ELSA POWERlib runtime files with SETUP.EXE

	The installation of the POWERlib runtime files is done with the
	SETUP.EXE program.

	For version checking against the currently running ELSA Windows
	display driver, the SETUP.EXE checks the POWERlibs and drivers
	internal initcode version and installs a compatible POWERlib.

	Start the program SETUP.EXE and follow its instructions. All
	neccessary files will be copied into the WINDOWS\SYSTEM (9x) or
	WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT) folder. The target depends on the
	Windows version (Windows 95/98 or Windows NT) currently running.

	Errors are reported with appropriate message boxes and the
	installation is cancelled.

	If SETUP detects a previously installed POWERlib/POWERdraft
	you will be prompted either to cancel installation or to
	proceed. If you proceed the previously installed POWERlib files
	will be overwritten. Because POWERlib setup does not copy
	all DLLs used by POWERdraft 14 (the display list DLLs are
	different to POWERlib ones), this may result in a non
	functioning POWERdraft installation. If you are not sure
	then cancel the installation. If POWERdraft 14 does no longer
	run after setup uninstall POWERlib via
	  "Start-Settings-Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs"
	and reinstall POWERdraft 14.
