                        SIMCGA - SIMCGA2 - HGCIBM

Many owners and users of Monochrome PC systems are unable to use a 
large amount of PC software. However, the three programs supplied on 
this disc should, between them, increase your chances of success.

For example. If you have a text-only monochrome monitor, all three 
programs should enable you to run most PC programs that you may have 
been having problems with.

If you also have a Monochrome graphics card you could well find that 
one or more of these programs will allow you to run graphics programs 
that may have previously not worked correctly.

The best thing is, if a program won't display anything on your PC, try 
running one of the following programs first.


                        USING SIMCGA AND SIMCGA2

Simply type in the filename and see if the program has solved your 
problems.


                            USING HGCIBM.COM

Simply type the command HGCIBM with a mode switch to install or change 
to that mode. If you have special hardware, ADD the hardware switch to 
the mode switch on the same command line as shown in the following 
examples:

HGCIBM /M - installs in (or changes to) MONO mode (emulation   
            disabled)

HGCIBM /C - installs in (or changes to) CGA mode (emulation disabled)

HGCIBM /E - installs in (or changes to) Emulation mode. (This is the 
            option you'll normally use)

HGCIBM /U - un-installs the emulator

HGCIBM /M/H - informs HGCIBM that a Hercules compatible CGA is  
              physically present.

HGCIBM /M/L - informs HGCIBM that you have a Leading Edge computer.

These commands may be issued from a batch file if desired. Hardware 
switches are needed only on installation.

To change modes after installation, just enter the command as above. 
HGCIBM always checks to see if it is already installed and will 
process the command correctly.


                              USER COMMENTS

Let us know what you think. Any criticism is better than none and will 
help to steer us along a path which is in the majority's best 
interest. Your suggestions need not be limited to graphics. Any 
comment regarding Athena Digital programs or documentation is welcome.


                                REMEMBER

IF HGCIBM DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU ON ANY PARTICULAR PROGRAM, SIMPLY RESET 
YOUR PC AND TRY ONE OF THE OTHER TWO PROGRAMS: SIMCGA AND SIMCGA2. 
REMEMBER, IF ONE DOESN'T WORK, REBOOT AND TRY THE NEXT. ALTHOUGH WE 
CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS WORK, INCLUDING THREE DIFFERENT 
SIMULATORS ON THE DISC DOES GIVE YOU A GREATER CHANCE OF SUCCESS.
