DESCRIPTION:
Creates four diskettes:
- Two (2) diskette for Personal Computer Diagnostics Version 10.25 Rev D
- Two (2) diskettes for Computer Setup/VP Version 1.74 Rev A
These related utilities were formerly in two separate SoftPaqs.

For all products except the Deskpro EP Series, Computer Setup and PC Diagnostics
are both pre-installed on the Diagnostics Partition.  The diskettes in this
SoftPaq can be used to update these utilities on the Diagnostics Partition or
to restore them if the Diagnostics Partition has been destroyed.   Both utilities
can be run by pressing F10 during power-up or reboot when prompted in the lower 
right corner of the screen on some models or when the cursor jumps to the 
upper right corner of the screen on other models.  Or they can be run 
directly from these diskettes.

NOTE: For the Deskpro EP and SB Series only, Computer Setup/VP and Personal 
Computer Diagnostics must be run from diskette.

Computer Setup/VP allows the user to configure security and power 
management settings as well as system resources (DMA, IRQ, I/O Ports, 
and Memory).  It is specific to the Deskpro models mentioned above.

Personal Computer Diagnostics contains programs that can test and 
inspect the state of the computer and its devices.  It is used with the 
Deskpro models mentioned above, as well as other Compaq desktops and 
portables.

Enhancements/Fixes:
 - For those products that no longer support a user partition, the option that 
   appears when running Setup from diskette that allows a user to install 
   Setup to the user partition is now disabled (gray).

 - Adds support for 1998 product options and Configure-to-Order (CTO) options. 

 - Modifies Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) to allow Setup to run
   under Windows 3.1 protected mode.
 
 - Adds new Plug-and-Play ISA user interface under Addin-Devices

 - Add support to correctly identify DVD-ROM and DVD-RAM devices.

HOW TO USE:

1. Obtain four (4) formatted 1.44MB diskettes and place the first one

The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename 
based on the SoftPaq Number above.

the prompts.
You will be prompted to enter the additional diskettes.
