Welcome to the Host Support Server.

This file describes how to install the Host Support Server.
-----------------------------------------------------------


SECTION 1 - TRANSFERRING THE HOST SUPPORT SERVER

This section is only relevant if you are installing the Host Support Server 
from the supplied MultiView Family CD. 

The information contained within this section explains the different 
ways to transfer the Host Support Server from the CD to your remote system.
The Host Support Server is stored on the CD in a tar file as detailed
below. 

For remote systems running SCO UNIX OS/3, OS/5 transfer, "mas_sco.tar"

For remote systems running SCO UNIXWARE 2.1 transfer, "mas_uwar.tar"

For remote systems running IBM AIX v3.2.x and AIX v4.x transfer, 
"mas_ibm.tar"

For remote systems running HP HP-UX v9.0 and v10 transfer, "mas_hp.tar"

For remote systems running SUN Solaris v2.x transfer, "mas_sol2.tar"

Method 1 - With CD player connected to the remote host

Insert the CD, change to the Host Support Server directory and copy the 
file that corresponds to your operating system into a temporary directory, 
(e.g. "/tmp").

Method 2 - PC with a file transfer program available

Using a file transfer client, for example MultiView 2000 or MultiView
DeskTop file transfer, connect to your remote system. Change to the 
Host Support Server directory on the CD, and transfer the file that 
corresponds to your operating system on your remote system into a 
temporary directory, (e.g. "/tmp").


Should any of the above methods not be available, you can obtain the 
Host Support Server from the following sources,

	WWW - www.jsb.com
        FTP - ftp.jsb.com
        BBS - +44 (0) 1260 296 267
