-----------------------
1.  System Requirements
-----------------------

1)  Intel Pentium CPU, or 100% compatible.

2)  Sound Blaster sound card.

3)  TNT Graphics Accelerator with the latest drivers

4)  32 MB Memory (64 MB Recommended).

5)  DirectX 6.1 or later.

----------------------------
2.  Installation and Removal
----------------------------

This installation is not removable in any general sense.  Once DirectX is
installed, it cannot be removed by any straightforward method.  Since
this program should not be run on a system that already has Glide
functionality, there is no reason to un-install the added Glide features --
they are doing no harm if they aren't being used.

--------------------------------
3.  New Features In This Release
--------------------------------

1)  Support for many blend modes has been added.

2)  Table-fog has been implemented.

3)  All texture formats except for Narrow Channel Compressed formats are now supported.

-------------------
4.  Driver Features
-------------------

This driver intercepts Glide2X calls and translates them to Direct3D calls.
This driver takes full advantage of the functionality of TNT based cards, including single-pass
multitexturing.

----------------------------------
5.  Known Issues With This Release
----------------------------------

1)  Texturing Errors.  Occasionally textures will not appear, or will be truncated.

2)  Depth buffering precision errors.  Because the 16-bit depth buffer formats of Voodoo and TNT based
  card are different, precision errors will occasionally occur.
