Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0(SETUP.EXE)
-	Added support to upgrade/downgrade your HAL if Microsoft Service Pack 
	4 is installed on your system.
-	Modified Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to 
	disallow installation of the Compaq SCSI Controller Driver, the Compaq 
	SMART/SMART-2 Array Controller Driver, or the Compaq Fibre Channel 
	Host Controllers SCSI Miniport Driver if it detects that you have 
	removed the driver through the Windows NT Control Panel.  Once the 
	driver has been uninstalled from the Windows NT Control Panel, you 
	must reboot the system or reinstall the driver through the Windows NT 
	Control Panel.
-	Added a new popup, indicating the supported version of the Compaq 
	Array Configuration Utility that is supported in this Compaq SSD for 
	Windows NT 4.0 release, which will appear after the option to install 
	the utility has been selected.
-	Added an enhancement to indicate when you should update the Compaq 
	Array Configuration Utility on your system.
-	Removed the capability for Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft 
	Windows NT 4.0 Version 2.12A (or later) to operate on Compaq 
	Professional Workstation products.
-	Added support for the Compaq NC3161 Fast Ethernet NIC.
-	Modified Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to 
	prompt you to update the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN Driver 
	after installing RAS to ensure that a registry setting created by the 
	RAS install has the correct value for this driver. If this driver is 
	not updated after a RAS install is performed, the registry value will 
	be incorrect, disabling the "route add A B" command functionality that 
	was fixed in this release (see the "Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI 
	WAN Driver(RIBWAN.SYS)" entry in this section).

For details, refer to NTREADME.HLP in the created support files.
