SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR WINDOWS =========

This is a DOS program which runs under Windows 3.1 
and 95 on most VGA video hardware configurations. 
Most instances of problems running this program 
under windows is related to graphics cards being set 
to a VGA locked mode or to video cards which do not 
support EGA mode. ETCAI products does not assure 
operation of this program on all Windows based 
systems.

Most of the instructions supplied for operating this 
program assume operation under MSDOS 5.xx or 6.xx. 
The instructions below describe some procedures 
which are substantially different when running the 
program  under Windows. 

 
SCREENPRINTING under Windows  3.1 and 95 ========

The instructions below apply when a Challenge Series 
program has been launched from either the RUN option 
or an icon under Windows 95.  The instructions do 
not apply to Challenge Series programs launched by 
the DOS prompt under Windows 95. The instructions 
apply to all situations of Challenge Series programs 
running under Windows 3.1.

Perform the two steps below to produce screen 
printouts.

Step (1),  With the Challenge Series program 
running, capture the desired screen by pressing the 
PRINTSCREEN key.  (On some keyboards you may have to 
press SHIFT and PRINTSCREEN, or SHIFT and PrtSc, or 
on a few keyboards ALT and PRINTSCREEN). The 
PRINTSCREEN  key causes the entire screen to be 
placed on the Windows Clipboard. 

Step (2),  Return to Windows either by exiting the 
Challenge Series program or fast switch to Windows 
by pressing ALT and TAB or other shortcut 
keystrokes. Start an instance of Windows Paintbrush. 
Select EDIT then Paste to display the last screen 
capture. (WIN 3.1 users should turn off  "Tools and 
Linesize" and "Palette" under the VIEW  pull-down in 
order to get a full screen display. This must be 
done prior to pasting to get a full screen display). 
Select Print under the Files pull-down to get your 
printout. 

The quality of the printout will be dependent on the 
printers capability and settings. Paint programs 
other than Windows Paintbrush can be used to display 
and print the Challenge Series screens. The screen 
printing instructions described above are for user 
information only. ETCAI Products does not support 
the procedures nor can we assure users that the 
instructions will work as described on all 
combinations of hardware and software. The processes 
described are the general methods used to produce 
screen printouts for DOS programs running under 
Microsoft Windows version 3.1 and  version 95. 
Consult your Windows user manuals if the described 
procedures do not work on your computer system. 

Using fast job switching, ALT/TAB, between the 
Challenge Series program and Windows Paintbrush may 
cause occasional palette shifts, (errors in color). 
The color errors generally disappear on the next 
screen update. 

PRINTING SCREENS with INKJET and LASER PRINTERS

Many new model printers do not have GRAPHICS screen 
driver programs for DOS. In such cases the Challenge 
Series programs can be run under Windows to utilize 
Window's screen capture and printing capability. See 
your Windows manual and Windows help data for 
details on running DOS programs under Windows. See 
the beginning of this file for screen capture and 
printing instructions.
