HOW TO USE:

 1. Download the SoftPaq into a directory and change to that
    directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with
    the filename SP14310.EXE.

 2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file
    and follow the on-screen instructions. A new directory will be
    created named "NSSD_A.610", and the NSSD files will be expanded
    into a that directory and subdirectories will be created.

 4. After the NSSD has been created, you may delete the SoftPaq file
    downloaded in step 1.

 5. For installation instructions, refer to INSTALL.RDM (ASCII Text File)
    or NSSD.HLP (Windows Help File) in the directory that was created
    by the SoftPaq.
