NOTE:  Windows users can now view INF files using the new
INF Viewer from SingaLab Pte. Ltd. of Singapore.  Patterned
after the OS/2 VIEW facility, the Windows version provides the 
same functionality.  The utility can be freely obtained from a 
variety of sources:

*  Look for WIN_INF.ZIP on most computer networks and bulletin
   boards.
*  A copy of the product is available in IBM's Hyperwise 
   (see LIBIPFX.EXE).
