	The CONFIG.SYS was modified to add the Pwrchute 
	directory to the LIBPATH.

	The variable SET PWRCHUTE=DRIVE:\PATH was also 
	added to the CONFIG.SYS.

	The file STARTUP.CMD was modified/created 
	to auto start UPSD.EXE.


The UPS service routine path was modified to point to 
the PowerChute install path.


Stand Alone OS/2:

	Ensure that UPSD is the first command in 
	the STARTUP.CMD file.

	Reboot the OS/2 system. 

	When the system restarts, ensure UPSD.EXE is 
	started and communication is established.

Lan Installations:

	
	If LAN Servers' own (native) UPS service is 
	installed it has been removed for PowerChute
	plus to work correctly. 
	
	
	If you are running PowerChute on more than 
	one server in your network, refer to the 
	PowerChute manual to add a PWRCHUTE account, 
	and Named pipe to your domain.

	When starting the PowerChute interface screen 
	in a Domain with other PowerChute servers, not 
	all systems may appear in the "Select Server" dialog
	upon startup.  
	
	If the server you wish to connect to is not in 
	the list, ensure that UPSD is running on that system. 
	If so, simply cancel out of the "Monitor Sever" box, and 
	choose "MONITOR DIFFERENT SERVER". This 
	will give the LAN enough time to gather all the 
	available servers.

OS/2 3.0 (WARP) Users

	If you are using OS/2 Warp on an EISA machine, there
	is the possibility that there is a problem with the 
	COM.SYS driver which ships with the software.  This 
	driver is essential for the proper operation of PowerChute
	plus.  If you are having problems communicating with
	the UPS, then contact IBM Tech Support at the number
	on the inside of your OS/2 Warp Owner's Manual.  You 
	will need to ask for APAR PJ15906.

EMAIL Support

	EMAIL capability is not supported in this release.  

--Languages Supported--

	The additional languages supported include:
		German
		Spanish	
		French
		Italian

	To make use of the desired language the appropriate language
	files need to be copied to the pwrchute directory.  See Release
	Notes for instructions.
