    README.TXT

    This file has information on how to modify the ChipsCPL Control
    Panel Applet that is supplied with the Chips and Technologies, Inc.
    Display Driver Package.

    1. To make modifications, edit the files mentioned below and
    then recompile using the batch file RESTRING.BAT

    To change the strings (or to translate to another language):
    ============================================================

    All the visible text strings in the ChipsCPL are in the text file 
    called:  DLGSTR.H
        eg: To modify the string "DPI" to "Font"
        //#define cDPI            "D&PI"
        #define cDPI            "F&ont"

        The & in the string is to underline the following character in
        Windows.

        NOTE:  These strings are displayed in the dialog boxes, and
               the size of the display fields is limited.  Please
               ensure that the modified strings are of similar size.


    To remove items from the dialog box:
    ====================================

    The items in the dialog box that need to be removed can be commented
    out using 'C' like comments fromt the dialog files *.dlg. The
    main dialog for the Flat Panel is in FP.DLG.
    
    There are TWO dialog boxes, one for the BIOS with multiple refresh
    rates and one for the BIOS without multiple refresh rates. You may 
    have to modify both boxes if needed.

        eg: to remove the 16M color line
        //CONTROL  c16M, IDD_24BPP, "Button", BS_RADIOBUTTON | WS_TABSTOP, xColor+deltax, yColor+deltay+deltay+deltay+deltay+deltay, 31, 10

    To move items in the dialog box:
    ================================

    The items in the dialog box, like screen size, colors etc. can
    be moved around. The X and Y positions for each item are specified
    in the DlgStr.h 
        eg: to change the position of the cursor Animation, from the
        present (185,110) to move up to (185,90) edit  the following 
        lines in dlgstr.h

        //#define xAnimation 185
        //#define yAnimation 110
        #define xAnimation 185
        #define yAnimation 90


    2.  Once the strings are modified, please type "RESTRING".
        RESTRING.BAT is a file that recompiles the resources.
        This file needs the Resource Compiler that comes with the 
        Microsoft SDK.

    After recompiling the resources, the ChipsCPL will now have 
    modified text strings in the language of your choice. If you
    are distributing the Chips and Technologies drivers disks,
    please compress the ChipsCPL.CPL to ChipsCPL.CP$ and copy to the 
    install disk in the \windows directory.
