                                    SECTION I
                   DESCRIPTION OF PRESENTATION MANAGER DRIVER

        Contained in this package are  the  Presentation  Manager display
        driver files:

             For Microsoft OS/2 V1.1:
                  PM11-54B.DLL   800x600 16-color

             For Microsoft OS/2 V1.2, 1.21 or IBM OS/2 V1.3:
                  PM12-54B.DLL   800x600 16-color
                  PM12-55B.DLL   1024x768 16-color

             In addition there is a common base driver:
                  PM$BASE.SYS

        To  use a driver, a monitor  capable  of displaying the  selected
        resolution  must  be  installed  and  the  video  card  must   be
        configured    for   that  monitor.  Consult  your   manuals   for
        configuration instructions.


                                   SECTION II
                            INSTALLATION OF PM DRIVER


        IMPORTANT:   Before  you begin the installation using either  one
        of the following methods, make  sure that OS/2  and  Presentation
        Manager have been installed properly and configured for IBM VGA.


                             AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION
                             ----------------------


        Boot   up the system in OS/2. Insert this diskette into a  floppy
        diskette drive,  say A:,  and type the following commands:

                  A:
                  PMINST

        The installation program will guide you through the  installation
        of  your  system  and  copy  the  necessary  files.  After    the
        installation, reboot the system.


                               MANUAL INSTALLATION
                               -------------------


        Installation  involves copying the driver files on to  your  OS/2
                              README.PM                     Page 2


        boot disk and modifying the CONFIG.SYS file. Follow these steps:

        1) Create a directory called VGADLL on the boot disk. Insert this
           diskette  into a floppy diskette drive.  The  following  steps
           assume boot disk C: and floppy diskette drive A:.

        2) Copy the base driver to the VGADLL directory.

           Example:  COPY A:PM$BASE.SYS C:\VGADLL

        3) Copy  the  appropriate  Presentation  driver  to  the   VGADLL
           directory as DISPLAY.DLL.

           Example:  COPY A:PM12-54B.DLL C:\VGADLL\DISPLAY.DLL

        4) Using  a  text editor, edit the file CONFIG.SYS  in  the  root
           directory  of the boot disk and add the following line to  the
           end of the file.

           DEVICE=C:\VGADLL\PM$BASE.SYS

        5) Locate the line beginning with the word 'LIBPATH' in the  file
           CONFIG.SYS.  LIBPATH specifies the search path used by OS/2 to
           locate   the  Presentation  Manager's  dynamic  link   library
           modules. Modify the path that the directory VGADLL becomes the
           first in the list.

           Example:  LIBPATH=C:\VGADLL;C:\OS2\DLL;C:\;C:\MYDLLL;

        6) Save  and exit the new config.sys file and reboot  the  system
           now.


                                   SECTION III
                                 TROUBLESHOOTING

        If   your  display  in the graphics mode is  not  readable,  your
        display  adapter  may  need to be  configured  for  your  current
        monitor.
