1	Introduction

	size to one monitor etc. With this tool you will be able to
	divide applications into two or more screens.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

2	Installation

	NOTE	 This programm was designed to work properly with
		 Windows NT 4.0 in multi board use.
	
	For ELSA DESKman is not going to be installed within the installation
	of WINtools, it is necessary to	install it manually in multi board use. 
	The installation can be done easily and quickly.

2.1	Manual installation from CD
	
	Use Windows NT-Explorer to change to your CD-ROM drive, go to the 
	according directory of your graphic card and to Winnt40\I386\Deskman.
	Click once with the right mouse button on the file Deskman.inf and once
	again with the left mouse button on the "install" option.

2.2	Program start

	To start ELSA DESKman, reboot your system or run the file Deskman.exe
	in your %SystemRoot\ELSAutil (e.g. C:\WINNT\ELSAutil). A small icon 
	appears in the tray-taskbar. Click on it and you can see a pop-up menu,
	where you can choose to configure ELSA DESKman or to get information 
	about it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

3	Configuration option

3.1 	How to configure the driver

	In the following the settings of ELSA DESKman for Windows NT will 
	be explained. Changes can be done by using "Options" from the
	DESKman pop-up menu.

3.2	What does DESKman do?

	- DESKman restricts the window size to one monitor, unless you 
	  expressly allow larger windows.
	- A window that would normally be centered on the entire desktop 
	  is automatically centered on one of the monitors.
	- A window that is not centered, but stretches over the border 
	  between two monitors, is moved entirely to the monitor which 
	  displayed the bigger part of the window.
	- Full-screen applications are restricted to one monitor, unless 
	  specified otherwise.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 	Errors

	When using only one ELSA graphic card or two graphic cards without
	multiboard option, you get the following error message with ELSA
	DESKman:

	"You are not using ELSA MULTIman or a virtual screen. You do not 
	 need DESKman."
	  
	In this case you should deinstall ELSA DESKman with 
	CONTROL PANEL/SOFTWARE. Mark "ELSA DESKman" and click on the
	"Add/Remove..." Button.
