DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks files containing patches for the handheld C-Series.  
These patches fix know issues in C-Series ROM versions of 2.11 and earlier.

have no effect, since only the files required by each C-Series are downloaded 
from the desktop to the C-Series.

IMPORTANT:  Do not use the "PC Card Restore" or "Auto Restore" (also called Flash 
Manager Restore) that came with your C-Series until you have applied the patches 
in this SoftPaq.  Both "PC Card Restore" and "Auto Restore" are updated by this 
patch installer.

The README.TXT file with the unpacked files contains detailed information on 
the patch files that apply to each system component.

   The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename 
   based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 
   Entering "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files creates a new directory 
   folder in the download directory.  All files are unpacked into this 
   newly created directory.

3. For instructions on using your desktop PC to install the patches on your 
   C-Series, refer to README.TXT.

4. After the installation is completed, you may delete the directory 
   created in step 2 if you wish.
