-       Added enhanced Compaq Insight Manager agent support to the
	Compaq Fibre Channel Filter Driver.

Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controllers SCSI Miniport Driver(CPQFCALM.SYS) 
-       Added support for the Compaq Fibre Channel Tape Controller
	as a supported device connected to a Compaq Fibre Channel 
	Host Controller.

	SCSI Miniport Driver for long wave Gigabit Interface 
	Converter (GBIC) modules, which allow the use of single 
	mode fiber optic cables.

-       Modified CPQFCALM.INF to copy CQRSCSMN.DLL and set the
	appropriate registry settings.

Compaq ProLiant Storage System Driver(PRLNTSS.SYS) 
-       Added support to the Compaq ProLiant Storage System Driver

	Controller Driver from the Compaq Support Software for 
	Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Versions 2.08A through 2.09B.
