 o Video drivers
   -------------
   YOU ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO APPLY THE LATEST VIDEO DRIVERS.
 
   While releasing this new version, we have just been informed that the
   new GRADD drivers, released with Fixpack 5 but not directly included
   in, would fix the problems mentioned below for HPP 2.0, and even for
   HPP 1.0.  Additionaly, the problem is being examined by MATROX and
   ATI technical support departments.
 
   Please read important information about fixes and/or troubles
   occurring with some video drivers.
   http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/clerin/hppvdp.htm
 
                             -------------------
 
   We have at last been able to state as an obvious fact that some quite
   usual APIs Presentation Manager cause some video drivers a lot of trouble.
   Those APIs are being used when displaying transparent images. Until those
   video drivers are fixed, HPP has now available a switch which allows to
   circumvent the problem, you just have to disable display of transparent
   images. In that case, start HPP as follows:
   START HPP.EXE /ti-
 
   Another alternative is to set the SET HPP_OPTIONS=NoTransImage
   environment variable before starting HPP. If you want to get this option
   permanent, you may insert it into your config.sys. If you want to set
   multiple options, they must be separated by a comma.
 
                             -------------------
 
   Some video cards with HPP cause problems when creating patterns using a
   quite usual API Presentation Manager. These video cards appear to work
   correctly when using VGA drivers. To circumvent this problem, the "Show
   Background Image" option is disabled by default in this version. If you
   want to enable this option, start HPP as follows:
   START HPP.EXE /bi+
 
   Another alternative is to set the SET HPP_OPTIONS=BackgroundImage
   environment variable before starting HPP. If you want to get this option
   permanent, you may insert it into your config.sys. If you want to set
   multiple options, they must be separated by a comma.
