DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks special setup files that can be used to configure the 
Easy Access Keyboard included with some of the Presario models mentioned 
above beginning in mid-1998.  This keyboard includes the Easy Access 
buttons on the keyboard rather than on the computer.  

An Internet Button Suite is located in the upper-right corner of the 
keyboard, and Multimedia, Power Management, and Application Launch 
buttons are located across the top-center of the keyboard. 

This option pack allows the four buttons in the Internet Button Suite 
to optionally be re-programmed to launch any program or access any 
Internet site. 

IMPORTANT:  By using this software to change the default settings of any of 
the Internet buttons, the ability to program that button through the Compaq 
Website is lost.  To re-establish the ability to program the button through 
the Compaq Website, you must restore the default settings of that button.

The default operation of the four Internet buttons is as follows:

- Instant Internet - Pressing this button launches the user's Internet
  browser, and opens to the Compaq Website www.compaq.com/athome/exploration 
  (U.S. only) or a website scheduled to be online in the near future 
  (outside of the U.S.) that will be customized by region.

- Instant Search - Pressing this button links the user directly to a
  search page to help them locate information on the Internet.  The
  default search engine can be reprogrammed to another search engine from
  the Compaq website.

- Instant E-Mail - Pressing this button launches the Microsoft Outlook
  Express e-mail application.  This button can be reprogrammed to launch
  any e-mail application the user chooses.

- Secure E-Commerce (U.S. only) or Featured Website - This button provides
  a different feature depending on whether the unit was purchased within
  the U.S. or elsewhere.

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.
Two files will be extracted to the current directory.  These files
are: EAOPPACK.EXE and EAOPPACK.REG.
You will be given the chance to specify the target directory for 
the files, or default to the download directory.

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

4. To install, run EAOPPACK.EXE from the download directory. 

5. After a successful installation, you may delete the unpacked files
from the download directory if you wish.
