DESCRIPTION:  Creates a set of utility files that can be used with a remote 
configuration tool such as Altiris eXpress to update or restore the v1.09 version 
System ROM in the iPAQ Series models with a 686J5 Family ROM. 

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

This ROM version is recommended for use with Windows 2000.

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.

This is the same System ROM version that was originally included on the the majority
of iPAQ 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. Some earlier models
shipped with version v1.06 of the System ROM.  This version v1.09 is safe to use on those
previous models if so desired but is not required for normal operation.


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
