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, run CPQINST.EXE.  In Program Manager, select File, Run, and enter:

  <path>\cpqinst

  where <path> is the directory chosen in step 2 or a 
                  diskette drive letter (such as A:) if installing from diskette

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