3.1 Your computer uses a Windows 3.0 permanent swap file.

If your computer uses a Windows 3.0 permanent swap file, run
the SPATCH.BAT program to make the swap file compatible with MS-DOS 6.
To do so, carry out the following procedure:

1. Copy the SPATCH.BAT file to your hard disk. To determine the location of 
   the file on the Setup disks, view the PACKING.LST file on Setup Disk 1.

2. Type the following at the command prompt:

        SPATCH [DRIVE]:[PATH]SWAPFILE.EXE

   For the DRIVE and PATH parameters, specify the location of
   your SWAPFILE.EXE file.

3. Follow the instructions on your screen.

   The program modifies the SWAPFILE.EXE for use with MS-DOS 6
   and saves a backup copy as SWAPFILE.SAV. After you have confirmed
   the file works correctly, you can delete the SWAPFILE.SAV file.


3.2 Using compressed floppy disks with Windows File Manager.

If you are using compressed floppy disks with automounting enabled,
you might encounter error messages or other problems while using File
Manager. To work around these problems, press the F5 key twice.

For example, if you change from a compressed to an uncompressed floppy
disk, the drive button for the compressed floppy disk's host drive
remains until you press the F5 key twice.
