The MS-DOS and Windows for Workgroups based drivers must have a configuration file created (or

file containing separate self-extracting executable files for each driver. After downloading and running
the DOSDRVS.EXE file, you can run the driver file for your specific application. You must also run the
UTIL.EXE to extract the utility programs for these drivers. The structure of the DOSDRVS.EXE file is
