INTRODUCTION
------------
BocaSoft WipeOut is a 32 bit screen saver for OS/2 featuring numerous 
animated displays integrated with digital audio, password protection, screen
capture, randomizer, and on-line help. A developer kit is included that 
allows the development of new savers. WipeOut also provides support for IBM
Ultimotion and Intel Indeo full motion video.

BocaSoft WipeOut requires OS/2 Version 2, a 3.5" floppy disk drive and 3 MB
of disk space. Digital audio or video require MMPM/2, which is included with 
OS/2 2.1 and higher, and a supported audio card.

The software has been tested on OS/2 Warp in addition to
OS/2 2.1 with MMPM/2 1.1.  A variety of screen resolutions such as 640x480, 
800x600, and 1024x768 have been tested.  All currently supported audio cards 
have been tested including the IBM M-AUDIO, Sound Blaster and Media Vision 
Pro-Audio Spectrum. 

NEW FUNCTIONS
-------------
Several new capabilities have been added to Version 2.0, they include;

1. Idle Time Animation setting that allows WipeOut to run at a lower priority 
   to let other applications run better while WipeOut is active. 

2. Support for multiple image types such as JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP and many
   others has been provided in the slideshow module.

3. This version of WipeOut includes support for Berkeley Systems Inc.  After
   Dark screen saver modules ( .AD ). Modules tested include those from the
   After Dark saver, More After Dark, The Star Trek Collection, and the
   Disney Collection.  MicroSoft Scenes Screen Saver support is included via
   the After Dark module but palette problems in OS/2 Seamless cause
   distortion in The Scenes images.  The After Dark support included in
   BocaSoft WipeOut requires that a full After Dark Saver product be install
   and resident in the WIN-OS/2 environment on your system.

   BocaSoft WipeOut controls and runs After Dark savers in a seamless WIN-OS/2
   session.  In addition to the WipeOut program, After Dark support requires
   that the BocaSoft AD Server program also be running.  The BocaSoft AD
   Server program must be started before the WipeOut program, if it is not
   problems will occur.  The BocaSoft AD Server program will automatically
   "inject" it self into any common seamless session that is running on your
   system, saving resources.  If no session is available the Server will
   create one when started.

   Audio for the After Dark modules is generated from the WIN-OS/2 environment.
   You must install the appropriate drivers in your WIN-OS/2 environment to
   support your audio card. You may also use the PC Speaker driver in the WIN-
   OS/2 session. The driver may be selected in the WipeOut After Dark settings
   dialog via the Sound push button. When audio is selected for the After Dark
   savers it will prevent audio from being generated on the WipeOut "native"
   savers while the After Dark server is running. When the server is exited
   audio will be restored for the "native" savers. This is due to the audio
   device contention problem associated with MMPM/2 audio devices.

   The Confetti Factory saver will have redraw problems after the first time
   through. The After Dark Fireworks saver module does not work at this time. 

   After Dark support does not include multi-modules.

   The MIDI Mapper configuration must be setup in WIN-OS/2 to support music/
   sound for After Dark modules that use it. Examples include several of the 
   After Dark Disney Collection Savers. 

4. WipeOut now supports time-out and hot keys in all OS/2 sessions including
   OS/2, DOS, and WIN-OS/2 full Screens. 

NOTES
-----
1.  To uninstall WipeOut from your system, start the install program with
    a /u parameter. for example:

    INSTALL /u

    WipeOut and all of its components will automatically be removed from
    your system. A command file UNINSTAL.CMD has also been provided which
    will start the install program for you.

2.  If you have removed the current directory (.) from your LIBPATH statement
    in config.sys problems occur with accessing WipeOut library files.

3.  A know problem in the IBM SVGA driver causes font distortion in the
    billboard and message shuttle savers.

4.  The Ultimotion video portion of MMPM/2 must be installed to run the video
    screen saver.

5.  MMPM/2 subsystem problems may cause WipeOut to lose audio is some cases.
    If this occurs WipeOut should be restarted.

6.  Ultimotion videos do not appear correct in 16 color mode, such as VGA.

7.  If you are running with Idle Time Animation on you may notice that WipeOut
    will not animate the screen with certain DOS/VDM applications active. 
    To allow WipeOut to blank and animate, but still use minimal time slices, 
    set the DOS application's IDLE_SENSITIVITY setting down to a value of less 
    than 30.
