 Introduction
 ============
    There is a format change for this driver disk. All README's have been
    reformatted, an added easy setup program called Install, and added
    consistency on all documentation provided.

    During 1997, D-Link will change all driver disks to uncompressed
    format and you can get latest releases of drivers from D-Link's Web
    site (http://www.dlink.com). We hope our new readmes and installations
    will minimize the users effort to make our products work. Should there
    be further recommendations please contact the support manager at the
    local D-Link Office listed bellow.

 Getting Started
 ===============
    Install is provided to assist ease of setup for users.
    Install will configure drivers, install the appropriate
    network drivers for popular network operating systems, and run
    diagnostics on DFE-500TX adapter.

    To run Install, simply run INSTALL.EXE program in the root
    of the driver disk.  (ie. A:\INSTALL<Enter>)

    If the network operating system you are using is not covered by the
    installation program, refer to the individual documentation provided
    for each driver directory.
