1. Notes About Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS

1.1 Stop the Server Before Shutting Down Your Computer
------------------------------------------------------
You should stop the server with the NET STOP SERVER command prior to 
rebooting or turning off your computer. If the server is running, and there
are people using shared resources, the shared data may get corrupted when the
computer is shut down.

1.2 If You Have an 8088 Processor
---------------------------------
You must use the basic redirector if your computer has an 8088 processor.
The basic redirector is the default.

1.3 Setup Requires 429K Available Memory
----------------------------------------
In order to run Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS Setup, you must have 429K of
available conventional memory.

1.4 Setup is Slow on Some Computers
-----------------------------------
On some computers, particularly those with 8088 processors, Workgroup
Add-On for MS-DOS Setup may appear to pause for as long as five minutes. 
Do not restart your computer. 

1.5 Using Workgroup Add-On with Novell NetWare
----------------------------------------------
If you have Novell(R) NetWare(R) installed when you set up Workgroup 
Add-On, your computer will be automatically set up so you can continue 
to use the NetWare server. 

1.6 Connecting to Novell NetWare Servers and Computers Running Workgroup
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add-On 
------
If you have Novell NetWare installed, you can set up your computer
to be able to connect to NetWare servers and to computers running 
Workgroup Add-On. Follow these steps:

1. Verify that your computer has the Novell ODI MLID driver loaded
   rather than the IPX monolithic/dedicated IPX.COM driver.

2. Have available a disk containing the Novell ODINSUP.COM file.

3. During Workgroup Add-On Setup, select ODI/NDIS Support Driver
   from the list of adapters, and insert the disk containing ODINSUP.COM 
   as requested.

4. This step describes how to configure your NET.CFG file to work
   with ODINSUP.COM. If you need additional information, see the
   ODINSUP.DOC file provided by Novell.

   If you have only one ODI MLID driver, and if you have all the
   frames enabled for that driver, the only modification you
   need to make to the NET.CFG file is:

     Protocol ODINSUP
         BUFFERED

   The BUFFERED parameter enables you to use the Microsoft NetBEUI 
   protocol.

   If you have more than one ODI MLID driver, you need to add the
   following information to NET.CFG. Note that ODINSUP can be
   bound to a maximum of four ODI MLID drivers.

     Protocol ODINSUP
         BUFFERED
         BIND <ODI MLID driver1>
         BIND <ODI MLID driver2>

   If you do not have all the frames enabled, add the following 
   frames to the Link Driver <ODI MLID driver> section of NET.CFG.

         Frame Ethernet_802.3
         Frame Ethernet_II
         Frame Ethernet_802.2
         Frame Ethernet_SNAP

   A NET.CFG file for an Intel EtherExpress 16 card should include
   the following:
   
         Link Driver EXP16ODI
             Frame Ethernet_802.3
             Frame Ethernet_II
             Frame Ethernet_802.2
             Frame Ethernet_SNAP
             INT   10
             PORT  300

         Protocol ODINSUP
             BUFFERED
      
5. Workgroup Add-On Setup adds the following lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 

	  NET INIT                   
	  ODINSUP.COM	            
	  NET START                

   Verify that these lines appear at the end of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
   If the Workgroup Add-On and ODINSUP directories are not in your search
   path, add a drive and path to each line.

1.7 Direct Hosting over IPX
---------------------------
If you have IPX loaded, you may direct host over IPX by selecting the IPX/SPX
Support Driver from the list of adapters.  

1.8 Installing Remote Access Service 1.1a
-----------------------------------------
Remote Access Service 1.1a (RAS) can be ordered from Microsoft. It is also 
available on CompuServe and on the Microsoft Download Service (MSDL).

After creating the RAS 1.1a disks, run the Workgroup Add-On setup program. 
Do not use the setup program provided with RAS 1.1a to configure your 
network settings.

1. In the Workgroup Add-On directory, run SETUP.EXE.

2. Choose Change Network Settings, and then select Add Adapter. 

3. Select Microsoft Remote Network Access Driver from the list of adapters,
   and then choose The Listed Options Are Correct.

4. After running Setup, run the RASCOPY.BAT batch file. It will prompt
   you for the Remote Access Service disk 1 and disk 2. 

To disable remote access, remove Microsoft Remote Network Access Driver 
from the list of adapters. To re-enable it, follow steps 1 through 3.

When the Remote Access files are installed, a RAS directory is created
in your Workgroup Add-on directory. Use the SETUP.EXE program in this 
directory only to configure your modem, not to configure network settings. 
In particular, do not select Enable Remote Access or Remove Remote Access 
when running SETUP.EXE from the RAS directory.

1.9 Using TSRs with Workgroup Add-On
------------------------------------
If you start any terminate-and-stay-resident programs (TSRs) and you are
using the basic redirector, you might be unable to unload the basic
redirector.

1.10 Using Qualitas Maximize or Quarterdeck Optimize
----------------------------------------------------
In some rare situations, Qualitas(R) Maximize and Quarterdeck(R) Optimize 
may attempt to load some Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS commands into the 
upper memory area. If this causes problems, use Maximize or Optimize in 
manual mode and do not use it to load Workgroup Add-On commands into the 
upper memory area. Workgroup Add-On automatically loads its commands into 
the upper memory area, if there is enough space. For information about 
using manual mode, see your Maximize or Optimize documentation.

1.11 Workgroup Add-On Cannot Be Set Up on DoubleDisk Drive
------------------------------------------------------------
You cannot use Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS on a Vertisoft Systems DoubleDisk
drive. You must set up Workgroup Add-On on another type of drive.

1.12 Making the Pop-up Interface Visible on a Monochrome Monitor
---------------------------------------------------------------
To make the Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS pop-up interface appear 
in monochrome mode, type MODE MONO at the MS-DOS command prompt before 
you display the pop-up interface, or include the MODE MONO command in 
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

1.13 Using QEMM Lastdrive
------------------------
If you add drive letters by using QEMM(R) Lastdrive, and then use Workgroup
Add-On for MS-DOS to connect to one of them, the connection will be 
successful but no information about the shared resources on it will be 
displayed.

1.14 If COMMAND.COM is Not in Root Directory
--------------------------------------------
Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS will not start if your COMMAND.COM file is 
not in the root directory of your startup drive, unless you have a 
SHELL command in your CONFIG.SYS file that specifies the location of 
COMMAND.COM. For information about the COMMAND and SHELL commands, 
see your MS-DOS documentation.

1.15 Enabling Validated Logons to Windows NT and LAN Manager Domains
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You must run the Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS full redirector to have your 
user name and password validated by a Microsoft Windows NT(TM) or 
LAN Manager server.

1.16 Network Settings in SYSTEM.INI
-----------------------------------
There are four settings in the [Network] section of your SYSTEM.INI file
that apply to Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS.

  MaxShares=	  Determines the maximum number of resources that you can
		  share from this computer. This number cannot be increased
		  when the server is running. To increase this number, stop
		  the server by using the NET STOP SERVER command, change 
		  the setting, and then restart the server by using the 
		  NET START SERVER command. The default value is 3. 
		  The maximum is 10.

  MaxConnections= Determines the maximum number of users that can
		  connect to the server at any point in time. Like the
		  MaxShares setting, you must stop and restart the server
		  to increase the number. The default value is 8.

  ComputerName=	  The name of your computer.

  AutoStart=	  If you choose a network adapter during setup, and specify
		  the startup option Run Workgroup Add-On Logon, AutoStart 
		  shows which redirector you are using. If you select 
		  No Network Adapter from the adapter list, or Do Not Run 
		  Workgroup Add-On from the startup options, AutoStart has 
		  no value, but the NET START command still appears in 
		  your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

1.17 Network Settings in CONFIG.SYS
-----------------------------------
There are two settings in your CONFIG.SYS file that apply to Workgroup 
Add-On for MS-DOS.

   Files=         Determines the maximum number of files that can be open
		  on the server at a given time. The default value is 30.

   INSTALL=[[drive:]path]SHARE.EXE [/F:space] [/L:locks]
		  Starts the Share program, which installs file-sharing and
		  locking capabilities, for your disks and network drives.
                  If you are sharing multiple files or printers, you may
		  need to increase the value of the /F and /L parameters. 
                  See your MS-DOS documentation for more details.

1.18 Using CHKDSK, SCANDISK, and DEFRAG with Workgroup Add-On
---------------------------------------
To use the MS-DOS CHKDSK, SCANDISK, and DEFRAG commands, you must first stop
the server by typing NET STOP SERVER.

1.19 Using INTERLNK and INTERSVR
--------------------------------
Do not use the MS-DOS INTERLNK or INTERSVR commands with Workgroup
Add-On for MS-DOS.

1.20  Browsing the Network Requires a Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Computer on the Network
-----------------------
Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS does not provide a browse master.  In order
for you to browse the network, a browse master must be present.  Therefore,
a computer running Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT must be on the 
network and belong to the same workgroup as the computer running Workgroup 
Add-On for MS-DOS. See your Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Resource Kit for 
information on making the Windows for Workgroups machine a browse master.

Note that this does not prevent you from connecting to a shared resource. 
You will just need to know the name of the server and share beforehand in 
order to connect to it.

1.21 Viewing Workgroup Add-On Server from Workgroup Connection 1.0, LAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Manager 2.X, or Windows NT 
--------------------------
You will not be able to view the shared resources on a Workgroup Add-On for
MS-DOS server from a computer running Workgroup Connection 1.0, LAN Manager 
2.X or Windows NT.  You will, however, be able to connect to the shared 
resources.

1.22 Sharing Not Supported for Serial Printers and Communications 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You can share your printer if it is connected to a parallel port (LPT), 
but not if it is connected to a serial (COM) port.  You also cannot share 
your communications devices.

1.23 Using Microsoft Mouse Driver Version 9.xx
----------------------------------------------
If you are using the mouse driver version 9.xx, you must load the Workgroup 
Add-On for MS-DOS server before you load the mouse driver. 

To identify which mouse driver version you are using, type MOUSE at the 
command prompt.

In your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, make sure the line containing your mouse driver 
comes after the NET START SERVER line. For example:

  	C:\WC20\NET START SERVER
	C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE

2. Notes About Mail

2.1 Messages on Main Screen or in Private Folders Cannot Be Compressed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The person who administers your workgroup post office can compress only
the shared folders stored on it.

2.2 Using Micro with MS-DOS Shell
---------------------------------
Micro does not operate correctly if you start it after you start
MS-DOS Shell. To use Micro with MS-DOS Shell, start Micro, and then
start MS-DOS Shell.

2.3 Using Micro with Graphics-Mode Applications
-----------------------------------------------
If you use programs, including MS-DOS Shell, that switch your monitor
into graphics mode, start Micro with the -F option.

2.4 Removing the Mail Notifier
------------------------------
If you start Micro with the -F option, a notifier or flag appears on your
screen when you receive a new mail message. To remove the notifier from
your screen, press ALT+F1, or switch to the Mail program.
