INSTALLATION:

If you do not already have a subdirectory of the main AutoCAD directory that 
is dedicated to customization stuff, create one.  Add that directory to the 
AutoCAD search path.  Place it _first_ on the AutoCAD search path.

The following files must be in that directory:

     AttDB.LSP
     DBL.LSP         (from DBLxxx.ZIP)
     AttDB13.MNU     (only needed for R13)
     AttDB14.MNU     (only needed for R14)
     AttDB-1615.BMP  (only needed for R14)
     AttDB-1616.BMP  (only needed for R13)
     AttDB-2422.BMP  (only needed for R14)
     AttDB-3636.BMP  (only needed for R13)

SETUP:

Edit AttDB.lsp.  After the boilerplate at the beginning, there is a global 
data structure with lots of comments.  I hope the comments explain what you 
have to change.

IF you already have an ACAD.LSP file somewhere, use a text editor to add the 
contents of AttDB_ACAD.LSP to the end of the existing ACAD.LSP.

IF you do NOT already have an ACAD.LSP file somewhere, rename AttDB_ACAD.LSP as 
ACAD.LSP and place it in the same directory as AttDB.LSP.

USAGE:

Close AutoCAD.  When you re-start AutoCAD, you should have a button for 
updating the database.  Even if the button doesn't appear, you should be able 
to test the connection by typing, at the AutoCAD "Command:" prompt:

     attdb
