PREREQUISITES: 
Rapport 3.01 or later must be installed on your server.
Firmware or Primer Version 3.5 Build 441.6 or greater 

IMPORTANT NOTE: 
This Firmware or Primer version MUST be installed prior to the Add-ons.
Installing Add-ons to Verson 3.41 or older is invalid, and the software 
will prevent that from occurring. 

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.

3. Read the *.RSP file and follow the instructions for each script before
running them from Rapport, in order for them to work correctly.
Installation Rules:

The introduction of Add-ons complicates the process of upgrading and downgrading software. 
It is no longer a simple matter of replacing the entire firmware content nor is it a simple 
matter of preserving user settings between upgrades. Now there is an extra dimension of 
synchronization between disparate software components that must be managed across upgrades 
and downgrades.

It is no longer enough to call the Compaq software product 'firmware' or 'code'. 
To be clearly understood, it is necessary to distinguish between Add-ons and what is left 
behind, which is called Primer. The main difference between Add-ons and the Primer is that 
you need the Primer before you can install the Add-on. (Just as you need primer paint 
before applying the color coating.) The combination of Primer and Add-on will be called 
Padded.

As an easy comparison, observe the old rules of upgrading/downgrading:
 - If the firmware is newer or the same version, the user settings are preserved.
 - If the firmware is older, the user settings are lost.

However, with Add-ons, the rules are adjusted and expanded as follows:
 - If the Primer is newer or the same, all user settings and Add-on files are preserved.
 - If the Primer is older, all user settings and Add-on files are lost.
 - Installing a new Add-on will preserve existing user settings and any other different 
   Add-ons.
 - Replacing an Add-on with another of the same type depends as follows:
   - If the replacing Add-on is newer or the same, all user settings are preserved.
   - If the replacing Add-on is older, only the user settings specific to the Add-on are 
     lost.
 - Installing Padded code will depend as follows:
   - If the Primer and all Add-ons are new, newer or the same version, then user settings 
     and existing Add-ons files are preserved.
   - If the Primer is newer or the same version and any one of the Add-ons is older, then 
     only the user settings specific to the Add-on being replaced are lost.
   - If the Primer is older, then all user settings and Add-on files are lost. 
     (It does not matter what version the Add-ons are.)

Uninstall Rules:

There is a new Add-on Icon in the Devices Tab under Terminal Properties. This applet 
is responsible for presenting Add-on inventory with versioning information for each 
Add-on, and also the ability to remove Add-ons.

Removing an Add-on also removes any user settings that were specific to the Add-on. 
Some visible user settings may not be completely removed, but rather are disabled to 
reflect that the feature is no longer supported. For example, if the RDP Client is 
removed, then the Printers Tab under Terminal Properties will become disabled.

KNOWN ISSUES:

 - NFuse - (Limitation) Only 2 NFuse sessions at any given time are supported using the 
   hot keys to switch between sessions (ctrl+alt+up arrow / down arrow).  


HOW TO INSTALL THE ADD-ONS:

Prerequisites for installation:
