DESCRIPTION:  Creates the Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics utility diskette.
              The DAAD is a DOS-based tool for Compaq products with a Smart
              SCSI Array Controller using Fast-SCSI-2 drives. The two main
              functions of DAAD are to collect all possible information
              about the array controllers in the system and generate a
              list of detected problems.  This data can then be saved to a
              file for analysis. In most cases, DAAD will provide enough
              information to initiate problem resolution immediately.

Enhancements:

- Added support for the System Partition Upgrade Utility (SPUU).
- Added ability to accomodate longer controller names in the windows of the
  System View screen.
- Moved controller graphic up so that its card edge was visible on System
  View screen.
- Added /E and /P strings to SMART-2 controllers to differentiate between EISA
  and PCI versions.
- Added support for SMART-2SL controllers.
- Added reporting on SIMM state.
- Added reporting of Ultra SCSI Drives and S.M.A.R.T..
- Added reporting of Interrupt Count and Ultra Bus Faults to SCSI Bus Data.
- Added reporting of Predictive Failure Errors to Monitor & Performance Data.

Fixes:

- Corrected error in Physical Drive Data menu where Mode Sense Data Page 00
  was missing the last data byte.
- Corrected the text being displayed for the SMART-2SL controller because it
  was incorrectly being displayed as SMART-2.

HOW TO USE:

1.  Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette.

2.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change 
to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with 
a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

3.  From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions.  You will be prompted to 
insert the formatted diskette in a drive to create the diskette.

4.  After the diskette has been created, you may delete the  
SoftPaq file downloaded in step 1.

5.  To install, boot with the diskette in drive A.
