HOW TO USE:

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

2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files.
It unpacks 2 files (requiring an additional 13 MB of hard drive space):
 SETUP.EXE
 README.TXT

You will be given the opportunity to specify the target directory for 
the files, or default to the download directory.

3. After the files have been unpacked, you may delete the  
self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.

4. Refer to README.TXT for additional details on installing and 
using the software.  

The installed Networking software requires 45 MB hard drive space. 
(The installation process may require up to 50% more disk space 
than the final installation; this space is freed when the 
installation is complete).   

5. Run SETUP.EXE and follow the on-screen instructions.

6. After the installation has completed successfully, you may 
delete the SETUP.EXE file.
