Release Date: October 15, 2002, Version: 5.01.015

Thank You for choosing Az-Tech Software!

This file contains the latest information about the release.


DESCRIPTION

    This setup program installs the latest hardware device drivers
    used for all Az-Tech Products for all 32-bit Windows platforms.

    EVERKEY Users should note that these drivers now allow 16-bit
    programs (like Kebuild.exe and Keshow.exe) to access iButtons
    on Win2K and WinXP systems (WinNT4 has always been supported).

    Several other compatibility improvements were made.  These
    drivers are backward compatible with all versions of EVERKEY
    and you may redistribute them to your Users.


INSTALLING THE DRIVERS

    There's no need to uninstall anything first.  Just double-click on
    the "Azsetup.exe" file and respond to the prompts.

    If you are using 16-bit programs on Windows 98 or Windows NT4,
    you will need to restart Windows before using the new drivers.


RUNNING 16-BIT PROGRAMS ON WINDOWS 2000 AND WINDOWS XP

    This release includes the UserPort kernel mode driver, written
    by Tomas Franzon.  This driver allows 16-bit programs running under
    Win2K/XP to have usermode access to the I/O ports, just like in
    Windows 95/98/ME.

    Please note that the UserPort driver is only required for iButton
    access by 16-bit programs running under Win2K or WinXP.  It is not
    required by any other version of Windows.  Also, Rockeys and 32-bit
    programs do not require UserPort.

    UserPort must be manually started once and will thereafter start
    automatically each time Windows is booted.   Of course, you can
    manually stop UserPort at any time.

    To START UserPort:

      1. Be sure that the Az-Tech Device Drivers have been installed.
      2. Be sure you're running on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP system.
      3. Click "Run" on the Windows "Start" menu.
      4. Enter "userport" and click "OK".
      5. Click the "Start" and "Exit" buttons on the UserPort dialog.

    To STOP UserPort:

      1. Click "Run" on the Windows "Start" menu.
      2. Enter "userport" and click "OK".
      3. Click the "Stop" and "Exit" buttons on the UserPort dialog.
