ENHANCEMENTS FROM VERSION 2.0:

Compaq Insight Manager XE provides web-based management of Compaq servers,
clients and any SNMP MIB-2 or DMI v2 compliant device.  In addition to 
time-saving queries and tasks provided with previous versions, version 2.1
provides the following additional fixes:

      - Fixed problem applying VCDB delta when updating the Version Control
        database from the internet.
      - Added support for Internet Explorer 5.5 (also in XE 2.0b softpaq)
      - Fixed problem with truncation of paging message at 64 characters.
      - Fixed paging problems on Windows 2000 and the ability to read
        modem initialization strings from the Windows 2000 registry.
      - Added ability to set modem data format (word length, parity, stop
        bits) for each user.  Previously, only supported 7 bit data, even
        parity, 1 stop bit.  This allows paging to work with paging services
        that require a different data format.
      - Enhanced the paging status logs to add more information and to
        change the filenames to naturally sort in time order.
      - Resolved issues with Compaq Insight Manager XE environment variables
        when passed as a parameter in an Application Launch task.
      - Made Help file and documentation updates.
      - Fixed other assorted problems, which are detailed in the release
        notes.
      - Added support for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard and Enterprise
        versions.

HOW TO USE:

   to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is a self-extracting
   executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file.  It
   will unpack the files, and run 'install.bat'.  This will present
   a menu similar to the following:
