Enhancements/Fixes:

This release fixes issues with the automatic creation of the PFCUser account
and password during install of Compaq Management Agents for Windows NT.
The fixes include:

1. Discontinuation of the automatic creation of the user account and
   automatic generation of the password
2. Notifying the user that an account is required for the Windows NT
   Management components and present the option to create a new account,
   use an existing account or cancel the install of the Windows NT
   Management components.
3. Allowing the installer to pass Command line options for a Username
   and Password so that the agents can be installed in silent mode.
4. Changing the privileges associated with the user account and retaining
   only the right to logon locally.
5. Removal of the existing PFCUser account, and prompt the user for a new
   account and password during an upgrade of the Windows NT Management
   components.

   and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files.

   self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.

4. For installation instructions, refer to the README.TXT in the
   created directory.
