DESCRIPTION: This utility checks for the ROM family and ROM date of Deskpro 
and Prolinea computers.  It compares this information with the COMPAQ YEAR 
2000 READY list.  If the computer model with that ROM family and ROM date 
is not on the list, the utility notifies the user of a SoftPaq number containing 
the minimum acceptable ROM version certified to handle the Year 2000.  
The user can then obtain that SoftPaq, or a SoftPaq containing a more recent 
version of the ROM, from any Compaq online service, including www.compaq.com. 
The user can then upgrade the System ROM. 

This utility eliminates the need for a user to run Setup to determine the ROM date 
and then look up the required SoftPaq number in the White Paper referenced below.

This utility does not take the place of other "Year 2000 Ready" 
programs that manually manipulate the time and date to verify if the 
computer is Year 2000 Ready or not.  

For more information about Compaq products and the Year 2000 see 
the White Paper "Preparing for the Year 2000" on the Compaq web site at: 
www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/whitepapers/index.html

HOW TO USE:
