	      Welcome to Microsoft LAN Manager's
	 OS/2 2.x Redirector and Workplace Shell Beta
 
	**********************************************

 
This readme provides information on installing the Microsoft 
LAN Manager BETA redirector and workplace shell support for 
OS/2 2.0 and OS/2 2.1 workstations, using LAN Manager 2.2 disks.


====================================================================
A.	Before you begin
====================================================================

These are the files associated with this beta:
This file 	  	does/is this
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SETUP.EXE 	  	updated to recognize OS/2 2.1 systems
2. SETUP.INF	  	tells Setup where to copy all files 
3. NETWKSTA.SYS   	new redirector for OS/2 2.0 and OS/2 2.1
4. NETWKSTA.SY$   	NETWKSTA.SYS compressed 
5. LMWORKER.DLL   	provides Workplace Shell support
6. LMWORKER.DL$   	LMWORKER.DLL compressed 
7. LMDAEMON.EXE		provides Workplace Shell support
8. LMDAEMON.EX$		LMDAEMON.EXE compressed 
9. BUGTEMPL.TXT		allows you to file bugs, report problems
10. README.TXT		(this file)


====================================================================
B.	Safety first
====================================================================

Now, save away your older versions of SETUP.EXE and NETWKSTA.SYS, 
either installed on your hard disk, or on your LAN Manager 2.2 disks, 
by copying them into a temp directory.  
  
Next, copy the new files onto your LAN Manager 2.2 installation 
disks.  This will allow you to have the new files safe for future 
installs or reinstalls.
Copy this file 	  into this dir	  of this disk
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SETUP.EXE 	  \	 	  LAN MANAGER OS/2 SETUP 
2. SETUP.INF	  \		  LAN MANAGER OS/2 SETUP 
3. NETWKSTA.SY$   \WKSTA20 	  LAN MANAGER OS/2 WORKSTATION
4. LMWORKER.DL$   \NETLIB 	  LAN MANAGER OS/2 WORKSTATION
5. LMDAEMON.EX$   \NETPROG 	  LAN MANAGER OS/2 WORKSTATION


====================================================================
C.	If you are installing LAN Manager 2.2 from disks, 
	onto your OS/2 2.x workstation
====================================================================

1. install LAN Manager 2.2 as described in the Installation Guide.

2. to enable workplace shell support, edit CONFIG.SYS to add 
the following line after "IFS=<lanroot>\NETWKSTA.SYS", 
"RUN=<lanroot>\NETPROG\LMDAEMON.EXE".  So, if your lanroot is 
C:\LANMAN, the lines in CONFIG.SYS should look like this:
	IFS=C:\LANMAN\NETWKSTA.SYS
	RUN=C:\LANMAN\NETPROG\LMDAEMON.EXE
When the system comes up, a new folder, labeled "Networks" will 
appear on the desktop.  The help provided with OS/2 will instruct 
you on making use of the Workplace Network Shell.

3. reboot as required in the installation process.


====================================================================
D.	If LAN Manager 2.2 is already installed on your 
	OS/2 2.x workstation 
====================================================================

1. copy SETUP.EXE into your lanroot, typically your \LANMAN directory.
2. copy NETWKSTA.SYS into your \LANMAN\NETPROG directory.

If you choose not to install WorkPlace Shell support, skip to step 6.
3. copy LMDAEMON.EXE into your \LANMAN\NETPROG directory.
4. copy LMWORKER.DLL into your \LANMAN\NETLIB directory.
5. to enable workplace shell support, edit CONFIG.SYS to add the 
following line after "IFS=C:\LANMAN\NETWKSTA.SYS", 
"RUN=C:\LANMAN\NETPROG\LMDAEMON.EXE".  The lines in CONFIG.SYS 
should look like this:
	IFS=C:\LANMAN\NETWKSTA.SYS
	RUN=C:\LANMAN\NETPROG\LMDAEMON.EXE
When the system comes up, a new folder, labeled "Networks" will 
appear on the desktop.  The help provided with OS/2 will instruct 
you on making use of the Workplace Network Shell.

6. reboot.
