1.0   Overview
--------------
        1.1  Overview
             This release has been tested with Netscape Communicator 4.75
             and Internet Explorer 5.x.
             
             These PD Maps help a person to go from indications of a
             problem to the possible solutions using flowchart techniques
             with additional hot linked tips.Be sure to look for Rollover 
             links on boxes such as on the Bluescreen PD page at the first
             decision block.
             
        1.2  Limitations
             There is one known limitation at this time. If you click on
             an element that sends you to a PDHints link, clicking the
             browser back button will take you back to the PD Entry page
             not your original point.
             A workaround is before you go to the PDHints call out, note
             the page you are leaving and use the buttons in the bottom 
             of the frame to go back to that page.
