Platforms:  Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95

Instructions:

This patch is an upgrade to Foundation Express 1.4.  This means that the 
version of Express supported by this patch is the version sold directly 
by Xilinx, and is installed (by default) in C:\FNDTN\SYNTH.

This patch will NOT work with the versions of FPGA Express sold directly
by Synopsys, installed (by default) in C:\SYNOPSYS\FPGA_EXPRESS.

To ensure you have the correct version to be patched, open Foundation Express
and select Help -> About FPGA Express.  The version must be 2.0.1.8 or
2.0.2.2620.  This patch will update the version to 2.0.3.2731.

Before install this patch, close all Foundation Express programs.  To install,
simply run the EXP203.EXE file by double clicking on its icon in Explorer, 
or selecting Start->Run from Windows 95/NT and selecting the EXP203.EXE file.
You will be prompted for the install area of Foundation Express, which is 
C:\FNDTN\SYNTH by default.  The installer will overwrite existing Express files.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. EXP203.EXE must be located on the same drive as the Foundation Express
software.  If Express has been installed to D:\FNDTN\SYNTH, then EXP203.EXE
must be placed on the D:\ drive and run from there.  If the install program 
looks for a XC4000E.PTS file, then the patch executable has been run from a 
different drive and must be moved.

2. The install program has been modified since the initial release of the
patch to speed up Window 95 install times.  No changes have been made to the
patch itself.
