2.0 Changes Since Last General Release (PD-5.30)
-----------------------------------------------------
1. MIPS Windows NT is no longer supported. (PD-5.31)
2. Corrected an NT driver installer problem that caused the installation
to fail when the driver files were located in subdirectories named i386,
ALPHA, and PPC - and those subdirectories were not positioned at the
lowest level of the pathname. (PD-5.31)
3. Modified the NT and Win95 driver installer to return non-zero
error code if an error is encountered during the installation. (PD-5.31)
4. Added a command line switch /E (or /e) to NT and Win95 driver
installer to prevent any error message from being displayed during the
installation. (PD-5.31)
5. Added code to remove the 'Sentinel' entry from NT Service Control
Manager when the Sentinel driver is uninstalled. (PD-5.32)
6. Setup.exe is now included to detect the active OS, and to launch the
appropriate Sentinel System Installation program. Please see 7.0
Autodetecting Setup Program for more details. (PD-5.33)
7. Corrected an Win95 driver problem that caused the key access to fail
when an ECP-capable printer such as HP LaserJect 5L is attached with
active print job(s). (PD-5.33)
8. Modified the NT driver to avoid the possibilities of affecting other
time-critical processes. (PD-5.33)
9. Localized the Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT driver installers
to support English, Chinese, French, German, and Spanish. Following
table shows the components and the status of localization, "x" means
a language is supported. (PD-5.33)

languages supported. (On NT 4.0 or later, click the "Browse..." button
and select the directory described above)
4. Run driver setup program -- Type SETUPX86 (for Intel systems), SETUPPPC
(for PowerPC systems), or SETUPAXP (for DEC Alpha systems) at the
command prompt. There are several command line options:
1. /q Quiet mode.
Normal dialogs are not displayed but error messages
will be displayed.
2. /e Suppress all messages. (Overwrites the /q switch)
Both normal dialogs and error messages not displayed.
