System Requirements
--------------------------------------------------------------

The Autodesk Family of Products CD requires a 486/33 or
faster computer with at least 8 megabytes of memory and
a double speed CD ROM drive. While a sound card is not 
necessary, it is highly recommended. 

NOTE:  For proper operation, there must be a Windows swap 
       file of at least 4 megabytes. Please also make sure 
       your Windows display is set to 256 colors (even if 
       your graphics board is capable of displaying more 
       colors).

       Some of the demos on this CD run in DOS using 256
       colors. Certain video cards may experience problems
       when running the demos from Windows. If a problem
       occurs, follow the instructions listed below for
       running the demos from DOS.

Installation and Operating Instructions
-------------------------------------------------------------

To install the Autodesk Family of Products CD, from 
Windows simply select File/Run and enter D:\SETUP.EXE 
where "D" is the drive letter of your CD ROM.  The 
installation creates a Program Group and an Icon 
from which you can start the presentation.

Within the Family of Products CD, you can learn more
about Autodesk and its products by making selections 
at various menus -- simply single-click on any menu
choice or "hot spot".  (Double-clicking is unnecessary
and may even hinder performance).
