  The WINDOWS 3.1 drivers are version 1.07, which support both Viper VLB 
  and PCI.
  The Viperpath environment variable MUST be set in the autoexec.bat file
  using the GO utility.

  The file PKUNZIP.EXE and the files *.ZIP must not have the read only attribute.
  If you receive error messages indicating that the GO utility could not find
  needed files, check the attributes on the above files for the read only attribute.
  This can be done with the command "attrib -r PKUNZIP.EXE *.ZIP"
