SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION:  4.0

SUPERSEDES:  None

DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks the files needed to install the System Software Manager,
a software product used to perform a silent upgrade of software
that resides on the Deskpro computers mentioned above.  The System Software
Manager performs hardware and software version detection and upgrades only
the necessary drivers from a central software repository.

Enhancements/Fixes:   
- If a softpaq did not complete installation within a pre-defined maximum time, 
  the installation process was assumed to be hung and therefore terminated.  
  This release increases the pre-defined timeout value from 1.5 minutes to 15 minutes.  
  This increase is needed to accommodate the installation of large softpaqs such as 
  the Insight Manager LC - Combined Client.  

HOW TO USE:
1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive.
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. This utility does not have an installation routine.  Please refer to the
PDF user manual file for more information about this utility and its usage.
