MOGD#
MOGD# is the latest updated version of MOGD and can be used to manage font and graphics downloads
as well as exercise all of the features of our graphical displays. MOGD# provides a new user friendly
interface as well as many feature enhancements.
To install MOGD# from the Matrix Orbital CD, follow the following steps:
1. Insert the Matrix Orbital Cd-ROM into the Cd drive
2. Locate the file MogdSharp.zip, which should be in the “CD-drive:\Download” directory
3. Unzip MogdSharp.zip to a temporary directory using a program such as Winzip, Pkzip, etc.
4. Double click on "setup.exe"
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation

After the installation is complete there will be a Matrix Orbital entry under “Start->Programs->Matrix Or-
bital” in the start menu. Click on the ’Mogd Sharp’ entry to run the program.
