1.0  Overview
_____________

    1.1    This document describes how to use the CFGGEN Configuration 
           Utility.  CFGGEN is a command line utility that runs in the DOS, 
           Linux, or Windows environment.  CFGGEN is a minimally interactive 
           program that can be executed from a command line prompt or a shell 
           script.  The result from invoking this utility is communicated via 
           the program status value that is returned when the program exits.  
            
    1.2    Limitations
           - The mptbase.o, mptsas.o and mptctl.o modules must be loaded into 
             the kernel before CFGGEN will function correctly.
           - The CREATE, DEFAULTS, and HOTSPARE commands take as long as a 
             minute to complete.
           - The DISPLAY command does not list SAS CDROM or tape drives.
