- How to Install Atismail :
-
- [0] : On disk 1 (Installation disk no: 1) are 4 file's :
- - install.sys
- - install.win
- - install.app
-
- These files can be used to install four dll's (bc450rtl, bwcc.dll
- ,bids45.dll and owl250.dll) in different directories that can be
- shared in a network.
- The default installation installs these dll's in the windows system
- directory. If you want the dll's in the windows directory, use
- install.win . If you want the dll' to be in the applications (atismail)
- directory use install.app . If you want the dll's in the windows
- system directory use the original install.inf or the install.sys .
- You can use the install.??? files by copying them to install.inf
- BEFORE you start installing Atismail from the install disks.
-
- If you're going to install the user part of the package, make sure
- a path exists to the "Atismail" directory before install step 2
- is started in case you used the install.app installation file.
-
- [1] : You want to install/use it on a Novell Netware (3.11) network.
- First you or your network manager has to put it on the network.
- This is Instal step 1, simply run install.exe on disk 1.
- After step 1 you'll have to install it so users can use it.
- (step 2 simply copies some files and registers some install info)
- Step 2 is done by running install in the subdirectory <USER> of the
- directory Atismail is installed in, in the first step.
- For Novell Netware users the directory used in step 2 preferably is
- the users mail directory on the network.
- (<networkdisk>:\mail\[object_id], exmpl. ; h:\mail\6000002)
- In the Atismail.cfg file use Defaultmailbox=Novell to access your
- mail (in a Novell network).
-
- [2] : You don't have a Novell network or you don't want to use it.
- Install Atismail on a network and perform step1 as in [1]
- For step 2, use a directory of you're choice (preferably empty).
- In the Atismail.cfg file select Defaultmailbox=Remote.
- To setup the mailbox click the right mousebutton in the mainwindows
- client-area (the white(?) rectangle) of the atismail application.
-
- [3] : You don't want to install it on a network at all.
- (on a standalone using slip/ppp ?)
- Just install it on the computer like in [2].
- Make sure you have a winsock that can maintain a
- tcp/ip connection for you.
-
-
- [4] : !!! DO NOT FORGET !!!
- - You need to edit the my-alias field in atismail.cfg
- - You need a directory for temporary files
- (DO NOT USE ANOTHER APPLICATIONS TEMP DIRECTORY)
- you need to mention the temp dir
-
- - You need a directory for queueing mail (registered users only)
- - You are going to read the help file or not ?
-
- Known problem after installation :
- - After Atismail is installed and you try to run it a message might appear
- "Unable to Create window".
- This means that an older version of BWCC.DLL is found in the path or exists
- in the windows directory. Atismail uses the BWCC.DLL of Borland C/C++ 4.5 .
- Make sure the newer BWCC.DLL is available. You might want to exchange the
- older version(s) of BWCC.DLL by the newer one. The 4.5 version can do what
- the older versions can do too.
