* 5. REVISION HISTORY
****************************************************************************
r1.21 - 07/19/02
Added ability to remove driver as part of uninstall under Windows 2000.
r1.22 - 07/26/02
Fixed error where the Setup progress bar ended at 80%.
r1.30 - 11/20/02
Added additional language support of Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional),
French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian), Spanish and Thai. Also
modified script so that now will only install on Windows 2000.
r1.31 - 11/27/02
Fixed problem when Windows does not install the new driver because the user
chooses "No" when prompted by the Device Manager due to the language difference
between the driver and the operating system. In this case, Setup script will
remove all of the installed components and allow Windows to reboot and bring
back the old driver.
