SUMMARY
Generic Software has confirmed that running Generic CADD Level 3 Revision 4 from MS-DOS version 5.0 Shell may result in missing or garbled characters when you load or print drawings.

Generic Software does not recommend running Generic CADD with any other memory-resident software or from MS-DOS Shell.



MORE INFORMATION
Generic Software recommends running Generic CADD directly from the command prompt. Generic Software also recommends that no memory-resident software be active when executing Generic CADD, including MS-DOS Shell.

Executing Generic CADD with memory resident software may result in incomplete drawings or unnecessary characters when you load a file to print or view from the screen.

Generic CADD requires 585K of conventional memory to run. To invoke Generic CADD from the command prompt, type &quot;cadd&quot; (without the quotation marks) from the CADD subdirectory.

The Generic Software product included here is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
