Problems/Purpose Addressed:
	
ELS customers who have drives larger than 260MB may have volumes which
begin after the first 256MB of the hard drive.  The VREPAIR.EXE which
shipped with ELS does not properly repair drives with volumes starting
after the first 256MB on the drive.  The files in the table above are
different ELS disk drivers linked with the latest VREPAIR.OBJ (also known
as VRP215.ZIP).

WARNING! Do not use any version of 286 VREPAIR with DOS 5.0.  VREPAIR will
hang if used with 5.0 and possibly higher versions of DOS.  VREPAIR will
operate with 4.0 DOS or earlier versions.

To install and use one of these versions of VREPAIR:

1) Rename the file whose configuration matches your hardware to
VREPAIR.EXE.

2) Rename, delete or archive your existing VREPAIR.EXE, shipped with ELS
and copy the new version to the appropriate directory or diskette.

3) Make sure your server is down.  Execute VREPAIR.EXE from the dos command
line of your server.
