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 v2.06 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.

A unique feature of the ROM is one that allows the user to select the language used in
F10 Setup.  The user may choose between Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, 
Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Swedish.  Please note however, that 
the user sees the chosen language only in F10 Setup, not in the operating system.


Enhancements/Fixes:

 - Corrected a condition that was causing some NIC's (Network Interface Card) to not show 
   up in the F10 Setup Boot Order and therefore not be recognized by the system.


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" confirms the unpacking of several files. 

3. After the files have been created, you may delete the  
self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.

4. Refer to the files ASSIGNPW.TXT and REPSET.TXT for instructions about the use of the 
utility programs.
