      This is a maintenance release of the Parallel Port Information
      Utility, which includes minor improvements on the 1.00 release.

      Parallel has received extensive testing involving dozens of different
      PCs, and no bugs or erroneous results are known at this time, except
      those cases described in Parallel.Doc.

      We intend to actively support this program and will appreciate your
      comments and suggestions.  Please direct them to us via Compuserve
