                   Installing IrDA support



System Installation Requirements

HP OmniBook 800 installed with Windows for Workgroups

HP OmniBook 800 IrDA Drivers.  These drivers are located on the OmniBook hard
   disk in C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WFW\IRDA. These drivers are also located on
   the HP OmniBook Recovery CD in the \OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WFW\IRDA directory.

NOTE: IRMON.EXE needs to be running before any IrDA communication can take
      place.  In order to accomplish peer-to-peer communications with two
      IrDA-enabled computers, a third party application software is needed
      (e.g. LapLink Remote, Puma, etc.)  To print to an IrDA printer, no
      additional software is needed.


Procedure

1.  Copy the following files from C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WFW\IRDA\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
    to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.

          IRCOMM.386
          IRLAMP.386
          IRLAPFRM.386
          PROCHOOK.DLL
