Summagrid IV 19
4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 Overview
This chapter is a guide to using the Summagraphics Drivers/Utilities software. It
assumes the user has experience with basic DOS tasks such as changing directories,
copying files and creating batch files. If the user is unfamiliar with any of these
tasks, refer to a DOS user’s manual before continuing.
4.1.2 The Drivers/Utilities Diskette
You’ll find four subdirectories on the drivers/utilities diskette:
 ADIDVR – Contains the UIOF format drivers for Autodesk® applications (both
protected mode and real mode versions).
 TABLTDVR – Encompasses the UIOF format version of the Summagraphics
tablet driver/Microsoft® mouse emulator.
 WINDVR – Contains the UIOF format Wintab-compliant drivers for Microsoft®
Windows
 UTILITY – Accommodates the following utilities: UIOFRST, SG3TEST and SEND
Before installing any of the drivers or utilities, make a backup copy of the
Drivers/Utilities diskette. Use only your copy and store the master in a safe
place.
4.1.3 DOS Prompt vs. Batch Files
Run most of the Drivers/Utilities by typing commands at the DOA prompt, or by
creating batch files. We have included examples of running the drivers/utilities from
the DOS prompt, as well as sample batch files, throughout the chapter. Additional
information on batch files and how to create them can be found in the DOS user’s
manual.
4.1.4 TSR Applications
Some of the drivers in this manual are TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) programs.
Strange behavior in the software can be caused by the sequence in which the user
loads or runs TSR programs on the system. If this occurs, experiment with the
loading sequence. If one sequence does not work, try another.
