		 RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
****************************************************************************

Make a backup copy of your existing AILANBIO.EXE, AI-NDIS.EXE and 
NETBEUI.EXE program.  They should reside on your LANtastic network directory
(by default, this directory is C:\LANTASTI).
Run NTB600.EXE to a temporary directory.  Be sure to read the NTB600.TXT
file carefully.  Copy the files listed under Product to your LANtastic 
network directory.  Once you have copied the updated files 
to the LANtastic directory, copy AI-ODI.TXT to your own private directory,
it contains important information on AI-ODI. Then you can remove the 
temporary directory.

Repeat this procedure on *all* machines on the network.
IMPORTANT: Be sure you are running a consistent version of AILANBIO.EXE on
every node on the network.  Also, if you want to use the NO_MULTICAST switch,
use it on *all* machines on the network as well.

If you have any difficulties, please contact Artisoft Technical Support at
(520) 670-7000.
