     The utilities and device drivers provided on the COMPAQ
User Programs MS-DOS Support diskette enable you to take
advantage of specific capabilities of your computer system.

     The COPYING section of this readme file describes how
to copy the diskette files to your fixed disk.

     The DISKETTE CONTENTS section lists and describes the
diskette subdirectories to help you decide which files to
copy. For information on the utilities and to learn how to
install them on your system, refer to EZ Help (the online
help documentation), or to the User Programs Reference
manual.

     The NOTES section offers information on the HIMEM
utility and Microsoft software.


COPYING

     There are three methods of copying diskette files to
your fixed disk.

     METHOD 1 uses UPCU to automatically copy and, if
necessary, decompress diskette files. Type

     a:\UPCU

and follow the screen instructions.

     METHOD 2 copies and, if necessary, decompresses all
files in the specified directory.

EXAMPLE:  This command copies all files from the root
directory on drive A to the DOS directory on drive C.

     CPQXPAND A:\*.* C:\DOS

     METHOD 3 lets you copy each individual regular or
compressed file.  (Compressed files have an exclamation
point [!] as the second character of the file extension.)

EXAMPLE:  This command copies and decompresses the HIMEM.E!E
file from the root directory on drive A to the DOS directory
on drive C.

     CPQXPAND A:\HIMEM.E!E C:\DOS
