*****************************************************************************

INFORMATION
This software package contains the Toshiba Windows NT 4.0 Utilities (MaxTime, 
FnEsse, and HWSetup) for your Toshiba portable computer, as well as the 
necessary drivers needed to support these utilities.  For detailed information
about these utilities and subsystems, please view the file C:\TOSHNT40.HTM, 
which has been copied to the root directory of C:.  This file can be viewed
using Microsoft Internet Explorer which is included with Windows NT 4.0.

The installation routine will attempt to start Internet Explorer and load this
file for you when the installation of the utilities is complete.


INSTALLATION
Since you're reading this, you've already begun the installation process. 
After you are done reading this file, you'll be prompted to press any key to 
continue.

The Toshiba SCI (BIOS) interface should be installed first.  This 
interface allows the Toshiba utilities to communicate with the power 
management (battery state, power mode, resume mode, etc) facilities built into
the Toshiba BIOS.  When the SCI installer ends, you'll be prompted to press 
any key to continue.

The next step is to install the Windows NT 4.0 APM Subsystem.  In addition to 
copying drivers to your hard disk, this sets up the Toshiba entries in the
Windows NT registry that will be required by the subsequent components.  When 
the APM Subsystem installer ends, you'll be prompted to press any key to 
continue.

The next step is to install the Toshiba SCI (BIOS) interface.  This 
interface allows the Toshiba utilities to communicate with the power 
management (battery state, power mode, resume mode, etc) facilities built into
the Toshiba BIOS.  When the SCI installer ends, you'll be prompted to press 
any key to continue.

The last step is to install the Toshiba Windows Utilities applications.  These
are the MaxTime battery management utility, the Hardware Setup program, and 
the FnEsse keyboard hotkey mapping application.  When the installer is 
finished, it will attempt to start Microsoft Internet Explorer and load the 
TOSHNT40.HTM file for you to read.  TOSHNT40.HTM will remain in the root 
directory of C: so that you can view it at any time using Internet Explorer or
the Web browser of your choice.

This README file will also be copied to the root directory of C: as 
TOSHREAD.NT4 so that you can view it at any time.


VERSION NUMBERS OF THE INCLUDED SOFTWARE  
Are found in the "About" dialog of the electronic distribution archive


!!! Update !!!

When the self-extratctor finishes unzipping the file, please run the INSTINFO.BAT 
routine for installation. - After installation, reboot the system to make the new
drivers operational.

This Version now works properly on Windows NT 4.0 in other languages (tested only
on Windows NT 4.0 Server German Version).
After the installation and a reboot, some of the buttons will be changed to english,
as well as some NT-programs.
A new button ( Suspend ) will appear. It actives the shutdown to suspend mode by 
Windows NT.

Hint:
Please install Windows NT, drivers and Service Pack in it's final configuration; then 
execute the INSTINFO.BAT routine.
If you run the Service Pack after installation of the Toshiba Utilities, the Suspend
button disappers, these diverse programs and buttons will return to it's original 
language. The functionality of the Toshiba Utilities will remain (but this not 
garanteed). The funktion of the 'shutdown' button will alter to shutdown and reboot.
Install the Toshiba Utility Package again to bring the shutdown to it's original 
function (This procedure will  NOT  bring back the suspend-funktion!!!). The buttons
will remain in there original language.

History:
The orignal version starts installation after unzipping. The installation sequence was:
1.) Windows NT APM Subsystem
2.) Toshiba SCI (BIOS) interface
3.) Toshiba Windows Utilities applications
After changing the sequence on it's present form ( SCI interface - APM Subsystem -
Toshiba Utilities ), it works on Windows NT without any error messages.
