DESCRIPTION:  Creates the diskette, "Workstation Fire GL 4000 Drivers for 
Windows NT 4.0," which contains the Windows NT 4.0 drivers for the graphics 
controller used in affected Professional Workstations (see PRODUCTS AFFECTED).

 - Adds support for Windows 2000.

 - Fixes features in the following applications:

   - New Tree for FGL4K
     J1 and J1A together (FGL4K and FGL5K)

   - GDI Stress
     Fix in 2D source '2dddi\jup\j1\jvUtils' L. 347ff (jupfDrawFillFast)

   - WHQL Short regression
     Fix in '2dddi\jup\jup2dutils' L.1781ff (jupfGetBits).
     From now on new tree in VSS for FIRE GL 4000 (FGL4K)

   - OpenGL
     GLCullFace: fix for bug #EDC-3F26.
     'Inverse Alpha' for Avid Marquee (enabled when profile 'Avid Marquee' selected).
     New Configuration Panel: '8 Bit Overlay Planes' added.
     'Number of OGL windows exceed hw clipped windows' bug fix (Marquee Bug). 
     Jup3dutils, fct. pffSwapWindowIDBits.
     Marquee: Marquee test for the maximum texture size by using GL_PROY_TEXTURE_2D, 
     but later requests at texture with the maximum size and border enabled. This 
     failes because the hardware doubles the size of a texture when border is enabled. 
     Therefore we limited the texture size to 512 and created a new Capabilites 
     flag which can enable the 1024 texel big textures.

   - DSMPROF.DLL
     New Configuration panel (bug fix for bad version number in configuration panel).

   - INF file changes
     Settings for profile 'Catia' changed.
     New profile 'Aplicon Bravo' (Compaq request)

   - GLUT Examples fix
     FIRE12 (CATIA)
     BITFONT (GLColorInitializeToWhite)

   - Windows 2000 Fix
     Problems w. startup because there are two 'AddService' lines in 
     'inf' file. Fixed w. new 'inf' file. Panel 'Configuration' now via ESC 
     calls instead of direct IOCTLs. 

   - SingleBoard
     ProDesigner Bug in single board and single screen: BLUESCREEN because of a 
     non reinitialized pointer to the first window object in file 'pixelfmt.c'.

   - MultiBoard
     Texture doesn't always appear correct. Only trash is visible. The 'bEnabled' 
     flag in file 'escape.c' which indicates weather we are in graphics mode or 
     not was taken from the wrong board.

   - LightWave Fix 
     The system calls a copy function for each 
     pixel and so it runs very slow. In function MulCopyBits in file 'multi.c' 
     Added a fast 'from screen' part which is 80 times faster!

   - 2D
     CATIA 5: multiple OGL client windows caused corruption of 2D framebuffer 
     content (wrong WIDs).
     Avid Marquee Profile: Removed 'Inverse Alpha' fix from 2218, cause it's NOT 
     doing what it is supposed to do (due to HW limitation of E&S chip)

   - 'Inverse Alpha' for Avid Marquee (enabled when profile 'Avid Marquee' selected).
     New Configuration Panel: '8 Bit Overlay Planes' added

HOW TO USE:

1.  Obtain 1 formatted 1.44-MB diskette.

2.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that 
directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with a filename based
