DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks the files needed to install the Windows NT 4.0 video

used in certain models of the Deskpro EN, Deskpro EP, and Deskpro SB Series 
(see NOTE above).  Optionally allows an installation diskette to be created.

 - Other minor fixes

HOW TO USE:

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

2. From the download directory, execute the SoftPaq.  When executed 
with no parameters, files are extracted into the current directory.
To extract the files into a different directory, specify the complete 
path of the directory as a parameter:

     SPxxxx <path> 

Enter "Y" to confirm and files are unpacked into a subdirectory named 
Disk_01 that is created under the download directory or the directory 
specified.  

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

4. The driver may be installed directly from the files on the download 
directory or a driver diskette can be created.  To create an optional 
driver diskette, run MAKEDISK.BAT.

To install the driver, go to the Control Panel and select:

   Display/Settings/Display Type

Verify that the Adapter Type is one of the ones listed above.
If it is not, then cancel and exit.
If it is, then continue to select:
    
   Change/Have Disk

Type in the path to the download directory or select "Browse" to 
specify the location of the files extracted in step 2.

5. Select OK to install the driver.

6. After the driver has been installed, you may delete the files 
from the download directory if you wish.
