DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks files needed to install the ESS 187x Audio Drivers
for Windows NT 4.0 for the Armada and Presario notebooks models mentioned 
above.  Optionally creates an installation diskette.

This version is the version initially shipped on these notebook models.

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.

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

4. The application may be installed directly from the unpacked files,
or a diskette can be created.  

To create a diskette, run MAKEDISK.BAT.  
To install from the diskette, refer to the README.TXT file.  

To install directly from the download directory, follow the steps 
in the README.TXT file.  However, instead of entering A:\ for the location 
of the drivers, specify the directory path of the files unpacked in step 2 above.

5. After the installation is completed, you may delete the files created in
step 2.
