SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: 5.0       

SUPERSEDES: SP18136

DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates a set of utility files that can be used with a remote 
configuration tool such as Altiris eXpress to update or restore the System ROM 
in the models with a 686P2/686P3 Family ROM.  It also includes the ROM Image.

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

The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running the Setup Utility by 
pressing F10 on the target computer during system power on of the computer, and 
viewing File/System Information.  This information can be saved into a text 
file by selecting File/Save to Diskette.

ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:
 - This is the same System ROM version that was originally included on the Compaq 
   Evo models with the 815e chipset.  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.
 - Adjustments to thermal tables for processors of 1GHz or faster.
 - Corrects reporting of Celeron 1.2 GHz processors as Pentium III.
 - Corrects some issues with El Torito code for "Return Boot Catalog" support 
   which were preventing applications from using the BIOS to obtain the catalog 
   of boot images from the CD.

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 README.TXT and REPSET.TXT for further information about 
the utility programs.
