Modifying the VersaCAD 386 Batch File

Before you use VersaCAD 386 with the new display driver, you need to modify the VersaCAD 386 batch file in the root directory. Follow these steps:

1.If necessary, log onto the root directory of your hard disk.

2.Use the EDLIN utility to edit the file VCAD386.BAT. as described in the following steps. (See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for instructions on using EDLIN.)

3.The fourth line of the VCAD386.BAT file contains the command to load the display driver. Change the name of the current driver file (probably EGAP) to the name of the new driver file for the resolution you chose. (The new driver filenames are listed at the beginning of this section.)

For example, if you want to use the 1024 x 768, 16-color graphics driver, change the filename to the following:

EGAP768.EXE

4.Save the new batch file as you exit the EDLIN utility.

5.Hold down Ctrl and Alt and press Del to reset the computer.
