Word 5.00: Proper Syntax for Creating a Screen Driver

PSS ID Number: Q47695 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

5.00

MS-DOS

SUMMARY

The following is a list of the commands used to create screen drivers with the MAKEVID utility for the various graphics cards that Word supports. Word version 5.00 only recognizes a screen driver with the filename of SCREEN.VID, so the screen driver must be renamed to this filename before being used.

Note: The commands use “-Lfr”, “-Lfp”, and “-Lfs” in the syntax; however, just “-Lfr” may be used in all cases when installing Word 5.00 on a computer running DOS. When using OS/2 as your operating system, it is recommended that the “-Lfr”, “-Lfp”, and “-Lfs” commands be used.

MORE INFORMATION

To add support for some terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR), memory-resident, or network programs, add BIOSSAFE.KBD to any of the above. For example:

MAKEVID VGA.VID -Lfr VGA.CSD -Lfr VGA.GSD -Lfr BIOSSAFE.KBD

Copy the appropriate CSD, GSD, and KBD files as well as MAKEVID.EXE from the Utilities 2 disk to your hard disk or to another floppy disk before running the utility. After creating the VID file, rename the file to SCREEN.VID and place it in the WORD5 subdirectory.
