Using components of Windows for Workgroups with LANtastic
 
 Since the release of Windows for Workgroups, Artisoft has done some 
 testing of the product.  Here are some of our findings:
 
    Windows for Workgroups can use all Artisoft's "AE" boards when they
      are set	in the NE2000 mode.
 
    The mail and schedule features of Windows for Workgroups will work 
      under the LANtastic system.  This is accomplished by removing the 
      workgroups network from Windows for Workgroups with the result being
      regular Microsoft Windows with the Mail, Schedule+ and a toolbar for 
      File Manager.  This is	accomplished by modifying the Windows 
      SYSTEM.INI file and the CONFIG.SYS	file.
 
    Windows for Workgroups will not work under LANtastic.  It has its own 
      REDIR	and SERVER and low level drivers which are not compatible with 
      the LANtastic system.
 
 To replace a Windows for Workgroups network with a LANtastic network 
 change the SYSTEM.INI file as follows:
 
[Boot]
Replace
network=wfwnet.drv with:network.drv=lantnet.drv

[386Enh]
Delete all but vnetbios.386 from below line
network=vnetbios.386,vnetsup.386,vredir.386,vserver.386,vbrowse.386,vwc.386
replace with:network=vnetbios.386,lantasti.386

Replace
NetHeapSize=20
with:NetHeapSize=64
 
After you have made the above changes you need to add the following to the
SYSTEM.INI file
 
[386Enh]
Add
NetAsynchFallback=TRUE
NetAsynchTimeout=5.0
PerVMFiles=0

[LANtastic]
Network_IRQ=(15) (appropriate IRQ setting for that machine)

After these changes have been made you have Windows 3.1 with the following
additions:
 
      Mail
      Schedule+
      Network File Manager
      ClipBook (this includes the original ClipBoard). The ClipBook Viewer
      will work locally, however it will not share the file across the 
      network.
 
 After these changes are made, the following Windows for Workgroups 
 functions will not work:
      
    NetDDE Programs (The LANtastic for Windows DDE feature will function.)
         Chat
         Hearts (game)
    VSERVER.386 programs
         NetWatcher
         WinMeter
 
 The Intel EtherExpress 16Bit network interface card that ships with 
 Windows for Workgroups will work with LANtastic A/I(tm).  The driver used
 is EXP16LAN.EXE. It was developed by Intel Corporation.  Version 2.01 of
 the driver was tested with LANtastic/AI v4.1 and was found to be 
 compatible. The EXP16LAN.EXE driver is not yet included in the 
 LANtastic/AI standard distribution diskette.  Users can download the 
 driver by calling Intel's BBS at 503-645-6275 or Artisoft's BBS at 
 602-293-0065.  Version 2.01 of EXP16LAN.EXE is not backward compatible 
 with earlier versions of LANtastic/AI and does not currently work on XT
 machines. This is not a problem in a Windows for Workgroups situation, 
 since WfW cannot be installed on an XT machine.  For other types of 
 adapters, you should check the current compatibility list on Artisoft's 
 BBS. If Windows for Workgroups was loaded using the Intel EtherExpress(tm)
 adapter cards, you must also remove the	low level drivers from the 
 CONFIG.SYS file.
