ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ


The following details a multi-user install of ARTISOFT LANtastic For
Windows 5.0 with Microsoft Windows 3.1. This procedure is generally used
for diskless workstations or workstations that have floppy drives only. 

ON THE SERVER

1)    Do a normal install of Lantastic For Windows 5.0 at the server. Use
      C:\LANTASTI as the installation directory.

2)    Exit Windows once the Lantastic For Windows installation is complete.
      Change to the root of the C: drive and create the directory C:\LFW50.

      CD\
      MD\LFW50

3)    Copy the following files to the C:\LFW50 directory.

      COPY C:\LANTASTI\W*.* C:\LFW50
      COPY C:\LANTASTI\V*.* C:\LFW50
      COPY C:\LANTASTI\*.DLL C:\LFW50
      COPY C:\LANTASTI\LANT*.* C:\LFW50
      COPY C:\LANTASTI\SBOOK.* C:\LFW50
      COPY C:\LANTASTI\LANRAD.* C:\LFW50

4)    Change the file attributes for the files just copied to Read-Only.

      ATTRIB +R C:\LFW50\*.*

5)    The Server is now set to share the Lantastic For Windows software from
      the C:\LFW50 directory.

ON THE WORKSTATION

The following assumes the workstation is a floppy only, or diskless
workstation with its C: drive redirected to the server's C: drive. If the
workstation has a local hard drive then the following lines will need to be
modified to reflect the appropriate drive letter the workstation redirects
to the server.

1)    Edit the Autoexec.bat file and change the DOS path statement to
      include the both the C:\LFW50 and C:\LANTASTI directories. The order
      in the DOS path is important.

      PATH=C:\LFW50;C:\LANTASTI;C:\WINJOE;C:\WINDOWS; ......etc.

2)    Change to the workstation's personal Windows directory.

      CD\WINJOE

3)    Edit the SYSTEM.INI file and make the following changes. Be careful in
      making the changes below. If the line already exists then modify it,
      otherwise add the line in as shown. 

      [ Boot]
      Network.drv=C:\LFW50\LANTNET.DRV

      [Boot Description]
      Network.drv=Artisoft Lantastic operating system 5.0
      [386Enh]
      Network=*vnetbios, C:\LFW50\LANTASTI.386
      Pervmfiles=0
      NetHeapSize=64
      NetAsynchTimeOut=5.0
      NetAsynchFallBack=True
      Emmexclude=D800-DFFF   (optional: use with lantastic 2mbps adapters 
                             or 3rd party network adapters that use a
                             rambase - adjust the address range to the
                             actual address range used)

      [Lantastic]
      Network_Irq=15 (use the irq used by your network adapter)

      *** Important - there should only be ONE occurrence of the lines above
      in the system.ini. If a line already exists, then that line should be
      modified as shown above or commented out by placing a semicolon in
      front of it.

4)    Edit the WIN.INI file add the following to the 'Load=' line: 

      C:\LFW50\WNET.EXE 

      Example: Load=C:\LFW50\WNET.EXE ....... (where .. indicated any items
      on that line from before)

5)    Load Windows at the workstation.

6)    Create a 'Lantastic' group
      Click on File and select 'New'
      Choose Program Group
      Enter 'LANtastic' as the description
      Enter 'Lantasti.grp' for the group file name.
      click on OK

7)    Now create the lantastic icons for each of the items below.  To do
      this, click on file and select new, Choose program Item, Enter the
      Description, and command from table below for each item you are
      creating.

Description              Command         Working     Shortcut 
                                         Directory   Key 

Lantastic Net            WNET.EXE        C:\LFW50    none
Lantastic Net Manager*   WNET_MGR.EXE    C:\LFW50    none
Network Scrapbook        SBOOK.EXE       C:\LFW50    none
Lan Radio**              LANRAD.EXE      C:\LFW50    none
Voice Error Manager**    WVEM-MGR.EXE    C:\LFW50    none 

* Net Manager is not required for workstations and may be omitted.

** Lan Radio and the Voice Error Manager require an Artisoft Sounding Board
to work. You can skip creating the icons for these items if you do not have
an Artisoft Sounding board.
