1.1  BigFocus 13/Win General Information
----------------------------------------
Welcome to BigFocus 13/Win, SPEA's acceleration driver for
AutoCAD 13 for Windows and Windows NT! This software is simple to use and
offers a number of attractive features:

- performance boost up to factor 10 of the standard AutoCAD display
  drivers

- a new SPEA Toolbar which contains the main features of the driver:

  + Bird's-Eye View
  + Zoom All function
  + Spyglass Lense
  + Redraw function
  + Zoom Window function
  + SPEA Hotkeys configuration
  + BigFocus 13/Win online help

- effective mouse-controlled zoom and pan actions via the Bird's-Eye
  View

- Spyglass window enabling close-up views of the drawing and transfer
  back to AutoCAD

Note that the driver does not contain any 3D functionality. This
can be purchased with the 3D-World package (which contains '3D-Win', a
hardware-independant 3D-Viewer for Windows).


1.2 System Requirements
-----------------------

(a) Boards
The BigFocus 13/Win driver is hardware independant - it can therefore be
used with any Windows accelerator! It is also optimized for use with
graphics boards which incorporate an S3 or Weitek P9100 graphics
processor.

(b) PC + Memory
To use AutoCAD and BigFocus effectively you will need a large amount of
memory and a large Windows swap file. Special information on this topic
is described in the AutoCAD 13 for Windows documentation and in the
corresponding Autodesk forum in CompuServe.

(c) Windows
The current version of this software is for Windows 3.1x, Windows for
Workgroups  and Windows NT 3.5 only.

1.3  Software Registration
--------------------------

This software need not be registered for use with one of the following
SPEA graphic boards: V7-MERCURY series board, FIRE, HiLite and FGA860GX
and V7-STORM PRO.

It can also be used with other SPEA boards and any other Windows accelerator
(independant of the manufacturer) AFTER REGISTRATION and entering the
registration code key.

Registration information is automatically shown on the screen. It fills out
the enclosed form REGISTER.TXT which can then be used to register the
software (please refer to that file for details).
