SUMMARY
=======

Golden Bow Systems, Inc. has confirmed that VFeature Deluxe partitioning
software is not compatible with the Microsoft MS-DOS 5 or later Upgrade.

MORE INFORMATION
================

VFeature Deluxe uses the following device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file:

  device=c:\fixt_drv.sys

VFeature Deluxe does not operate properly with MS-DOS 5.0 or later.


To work around this incompatibility, do the following:

1. Back up all necessary data on the hard drive.

2. Repartition the hard drive with the MS-DOS 5.0 or later Fdisk command.

3. Format the hard disk. For example, at the command prompt, type the following
  command:

  " format c: /s " (without the quotation marks)
