Notes & Updates
---------------


Note: If your screen is blank when running IMAGEPRINT or IE
then use the DOS MODE command to put your screen into the
proper text mode. For example:

MODE CO80

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

To print the documentation, copy IPV4.DOC to your printer
with the DOS COPY command:

COPY IPV4.DOC PRN:

The documentation is formatted for 8 x 11 inch fan-fold paper.
Make sure your printer starts at the top of a page.

Do NOT print IPV4.DOC with IMAGEPRINT. There are many examples
of IMAGEPRINT backslash commands contained in it, which would be
interpreted as commands, rather than examples, causing the
documentation to print incorrectly.
