Enhancements/Fixes:  This utility no longer opens the disk driver under
Windows NT and Windows 2000 and holds it open. The utility now only 
opens the disk driver when it needs to access the drive. This fixed 
a problem with Windows 2000 and ejecting ATA PC Cards theat were present
at system power up.

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.

To create the one optional installation diskette, run MAKEDISK.BAT and
follow on-screen instructions.

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

4. To install, run SETUP.EXE.  For example, enter:

   <path>\SETUP
   where <path> is the drive and directory created in step 2
                      - or -
                   a diskette drive letter if using the optional 
                   installation diskette

   Follow the on-screen instructions.

5. After the installation is completed, you may delete the directory
