                                AFLASH.EXE 
*****************************************************************************

        To use AFlash, do the following:
        1. Copy the AFLASH.EXE from the aflash utility
	   diskette into a subdirectory of your choice.

        2. From that subdirectory, type:
             aflash <Enter>

        3. A help message appears. Press any key to continue.

        4. The main menu appears. Use the up- or down-arrow keys to 
           highlight the options. Press Enter to select.

        5. If you want to save a copy of the current BIOS into a file, 
           select SAVE BIOS TO A DISK FILE.

        6. Select LOAD BIOS FILE to load the BIOS file into memory.

        7. Select EDIT OEM STRING to edit the OEM string within the BIOS file,
           if BIOS file supports the OEM string.

        8. Select PROGRAM FLASH ROM to erase the current BIOS, and 
	   program flash ROM.

        ** WARNING! ** Do not turn off system power while flash BIOS is 
                       programming. This will destroy the BIOS.

        9. After program flash ROM, system will be halted and you have to
           turn off power and reboot the system.

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

        A quicker way to load the BIOS file into memory, and program the 
        Flash ROM is to type:

          Aflash  <filename>   <Enter>

        The program automatically performs the loading and programming 
        functions.

        If the program cannot find the BIOS file, it shows the main menu
        and flashes this message: 

        "Can't read this file !!!      Press any key to continue......"

        Follow the procedures for loading and programming the BIOS file 
        using the main menu.

       ** WARNING! ** Do not install memory-related drivers (EMS, DPMI)
                      when Aflash is used.
