2)  Introduction

PLEASE NOTE:  Confirm that you do not have an earlier ATI OpenGL Quake 
driver installed in your games directory or in your /WINDOWS/SYSTEM/ 
directory.  You will experience unpredictable problems in the game.  If 
a file named OpenGL32.DLL is located in your games directory either rename
it or delete it before testing this driver with your OpenGL application.  
If you have installed a non Microsoft version of OpenGL32.DLL in your 
/WINDOWS/SYSTEM/ directory you must obtain the Microsoft version of this
driver for it to function correctly with OpenGL applications.  
              	
-- This driver will work only with the RAGE PRO, RAGE LT-PRO and RAGE XL family of 
   graphic chips in either PCI or AGP configurations. That includes the 
   XPERT 98, XPERT@WORK, XPERT@PLAY, XPERT@PLAY 98, XPERT XL, XPERT LCD and 
   ALL-IN-WONDER PRO.
   ** THIS SOFTWARE WILL NOT WORK WITH NON RAGE PRO products**
-- This driver will not work with Windows NT.
-- This driver contains support for English only.
-- Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 or later runtime is required for use with this driver.  
   To obtain DirectX for home users please point your browser to:

-- This is a full Windows 95b/98 driver set with an integrated OpenGL ICD 
   component. This driver requires the Microsoft software OpenGL driver, 
   OpenGL32.DLL, for proper operation.  Please ensure this file is located
   in your /WINDOWS/SYSTEM/ directory.  We strongly recommend that 
   you use the OpenGL32.DLL file that has been included with your version
   of Windows 9X.  If you are unsure if this file is installed on your system 
   use Windows Explorer to browse your /WINDOWS/SYSTEM/ directory 
   for confirmation that OpenGL32.DLL is located there.  
-- OpenGL for Windows 95 is included in the Windows 95 OSR 2.X and
   Windows 98 releases. The libraries for Windows 95 are also available
   as the self-extracting archive file on the Microsoft ftp site at  
   ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/opengl95.exe.  This contains 
   OpenGL32.DLL which is needed to run OpenGL programs under 
   Windows 95.

features contained in the specification at 16 bpp.  If you are
configured for 8 bpp, 24 bpp or 32 bpp OpenGL will not be accelerated.
