Appendix A: Package Specific Installation Instruction


        This update is packaged as a self-extracting PackageForTheWeb (PFTW) 
        executable file. To use this update your TEMP environment variable 
        must be set to a path with read/write access. You must be logged in 
        as an administrator.
        
        The command-line syntax for PackageForTheWeb executable device driver 
        update package is: 
        
        Package.exe [-s] [-a [-s] | [-x directory] | [-?] ]
        
        [-s] This command installs an update silently and does not notify you 
        if your files need to be over written in the %temp% directory. 
         
        [-a] This command passes all subsequent commands to the install 
        package.
        
        [-s] This second -s command installs the update silently and 
        unattended.
        
        [-x directory]  This command extracts the update files to a directory
        named directory. The PackageForTheWeb executable extracts itself to 
        subdirectory in the %TEMP% directory.  Extracted directories will be
        relative to that location.  Typically you must specify an absolute 
        directory.         
         
        [-?]  This command displays information about the command line 
        switches. The command  line swithces -a and -x are unattended.  Other
        command line options such as display help (-?) might require that you
        to hit any key to continue. 


        If Windows packages are run without any command line options, a GUI is
        displayed.  This GUI offers all of the options that are available 
        using the command line.
