GRAY.COM
                    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 
INTRODUCTION:
 
    GRAY.COM is small utility program that enables "gray summing" on mono 
    VGC monitors when a monochrome display adapter is also installed in 
    the same system.
 
 
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
 
    Any COMPAQ Computer with COMPAQ VGC (with mono VGC monitor) AND a 
    monochrome display adapter installed in the same system.  COMPAQ 
    MS-DOS Version 2 or greater
 
 
WHO SHOULD USE:
 
    Any user who has installed a monochrome display adapter in addition  
    to the VGC (with monochrome monitor) can benefit from GRAY.COM.  [The 
    presence of the monochrome adapter forces the VGC to take the color 
    address space in spite of the fact that it too has a mono monitor 
    attached to it.]  The VGC monochrome monitor will fail to display 
    colors correctly.  Shades of blue or red may not be visible at all.  
    GRAY turns on "gray summing" which allows these colors to be seen 
    correctly as shades of gray on the VGC monochrome monitor.
 
 
HOW TO USE:
 
    1.Copy the program GRAY.COM from the distribution diskette to your 
    system diskette or fixed disk.
 
 
    2.   Run the program by typing GRAY.COM.
 
    3.   When the package is successfully installed, you will get the 
         following message:
 
              GRAY.COM  version 1.00
              Copyright (C) Compaq Computer Corp. 1990
              for VGC with mono monitor AND monochrome display adapter.
              VGC Gray Summing Enabled, sample color bar =>
 
         It then prints a short color bar on the last line just to show 
         that "gray summing" is enabled.
 
         GRAY.COM will abort if it finds the required video adapters are 
         not present.
 
    NOTE:  You may use an editor, to add a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file 
    to execute the command at system boot.
 
EFFECTS ON YOUR SYSTEM:
 
    1.All colors on the VGC mono monitor will be correctly displayed as 
    shades of gray.
 
    2.   Once installed, the grey summing remains in effect until you 
         reboot your computer.
 
    3.   GRAY.COM will NOT take up any memory as it is not resident.
