DESCRIPTION:  Creates a set of utility files that can be used with a remote
configuration tool such as Intel LANDesk Configuration Manager (LCM) to
update or restore the 02.04.99 version System ROM in the Deskpro EP Series,
Deskpro EN Series, and Deskpro EN Series SFF models with a 686J1 ROM.

The standard ROMPaq will not work for updating a PC remotely over a network.

This is the same System ROM version that was originally included on the newer 810e models.
It is not an upgrade.  It is made available here as a convenience for users who may need 
to restore it to their computer for any reason.  This version is also fully backward 
compatible with previous units that use the Whitney 810 chipsets in the 686J1 ROM family.

This ROM version is recommended for use with Windows 98.

This ROM includes a ROM-based F10 Setup.  A Language Module option allows the user to 
select the language used in F10 Setup: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, 
Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Swedish.

Enhancements/Fixes:
 - Adds support for the newer 810e models.
