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

1)  Intel Pentium CPU, or 100% compatible.

2)  Sound Blaster sound card.

3)  TNT Graphics Accelerator.

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 Win95 has been added.
2)  Several blend modes have been added.
3)  Memory leaks have been fixed.
4)  Some performance optimization has been done.

-------------------
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.
  
3)  No support for .3df texture files.  Some games will not run because of this.
