   ***** READ THIS ******

   MGlide project is dead since september 1999. This version (1.246H) was
   started in june 1999 but never finished. But due to the popular demande
   I have decided to release it unfinished. So, there's a lot of bugs and
   the previous version is probably better in most case, but not in all
   cases. That's why you should try this version.

   SO, PLEASE, DON'T SEND ME E-MAIL TO ASK ME "WHY THIS GAME DOES NOT WORK WITH 
   MGLIDE" OR "WHEN THE NEXT VERSION WIIL BE RELEASED".

   MGLIDE IS DEAD !


   What's new:
     .use DirectX 7.0.
     .New optimized texture manager.
     .Real mipmaping (not auto-mipmaping).
     .MMX Optimized PixelPipeline (No 3DNow or SSE because I can't test them).
     .New Setup and Clipping Engine.
     .Better palette emulation (for TNT).

 DESCRIPTION:
 ============
 
   MGlide is a Glide to Direct3D wrapper. It allow to play lots glide games
   without a glide compatible card.

   MGSetup allows to configure MGlide.


 REQUIREMENTS:
 =============

   Software:
     . Windows 95/98.
     . DirectX 7.0
  
     ** MGSetup and MGlide have only been tested under Windows 98 **

   Hardware :
     . Processor Intel Pentium II, Pentium III, K6-2, K6-3, Athlon
     . 64 MB Ram
     . A Direct3D compatible graphic card with at least 4 MB RAM on board
       Nvidia Riva 128, 128 ZX, TNT, TNT2, Vanta, GeForce, etc...
       Intel 740
       3DLabs Permedia 2
       ATI Rage Pro, Rage 128, Radeon
       SIS 6326
       Matrox G200, G400, G400 MAX

 PAKING LIST
 ===========

 Files included in this package are:

    Readme.txt      This file.
    MGlide.dll      The wrapper.
    MGSetup.exe     The configuration program.


 INSTALLATION:
 =============

   YOU MUST HAVE PROPERLY INSTALL DIRECTX FOR THIS APPLICATION
   TO WORK. REFER TO DIRECTX DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS OPERATION!!
 
   1. If you can read this file, I beleive you have unzipped the package
      successfully.
         
   2. Copy MGlide.dll in your windows system directory and rename it to
      a more appropriate name (I think glide2x.dll is a good name).
   
   4. Launch the MGSetup program and chose your Direct3D driver and device.
      It's highly recommended to select an HAL device (see DirectX and/or
      your graphic card documentation if you don't know what is it).

   5. Push the "green" button to save your profile. You can obtain usefull
      informations on the choosen device in the right window just under the
      device list.


 KNOWN PROBLEMS
 ==============
 
   MGlide hasn't been tested on all graphic cards and with all DirectX
   versions. So MGlide may not work on your system (I need feedback).
   MGlide is know to work with just some glide applications. I need feedback
   to update the compatibility list.
