3.0 Installation over SDDGRAD
_____________________________

  !!! There is no need to reset to VGA !!!
  If using IBM VGA then install SDDGRAD (Alt-F1 -> G,  Reset to IBM Gradd)
  
  
  If SNAP or GENGRAD is already installed then

  * copy VBE2GRAD.DLL to x:os2dll
    copy PANOGREX.DLL to x:os2dll
    copy GRADD.SYS    to x:os2
  
  * modify CONFIG.SYS:  
      change 
        SET C1=SDDGRADD
        SET GREEXT=SDDGREXT      
      to  
        SET C1=VBE2GRAD
        SET GREEXT=PANOGREX
      
  * Remove SNAP stuff:
    rem device=x:os2sddhelp.sys
    
    Delete the file x:os2svgadata.pmi or modify it:
      change 
         #includecode "sddpmi.dll"
      to   
         #includecode "genpmi.dll"

  * How to convince that VBE2GRAD is loaded?
      * x:os2installgradd.log
          should contain: "Module VBE2GRAD loaded successfully"
      * Capabilities button should be enabled  
      
  * Setup:      
      * shadow buffer is disabled by default. To enable, System setup -> 
        Screen -> Capabilities button -> [X] Shadow buffer, reboot
