DESCRIPTION:  Creates a diskette containing patches for the PC Companion C-Series.
These patches fix known issues in C-Series ROM versions of 1.62 and earlier.

no effect, since only the files required by each C-Series are downloaded from
the desktop to the C-Series.

IMPORTANT:  Do not use the "PC Card Restore" or "Auto Restore" (also called 
Flash Manager Restore) that came with your C-Series until you have applied 
the patches in this SoftPaq.  Both "PC Card Restore" and "Auto Restore" are 
updated by this patch installer.

The README.TXT file on the created diskette contains detailed information on 
the patch files that apply to each system component.

that were in previous SoftPaq SP8415  --
