- LANtastic NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM V3.03
- ========================================
-
- INSTALLING LANtastic NOS V3.03
-
- Most of the files on your LANtastic diskette are compressed. Because of
- this, you must run the LANtastic INSTALL program to uncompress the files
- and install them to your computer's disk. Do not simply copy the NOS
- software to your existing LANTASTI directory.
-
- LANtastic/AI
-
- LANtastic/AI incorporates increased support for third-party adapters. To
- use the latest version of LANtastic Network Operating System with
- non-Artisoft adapters, you must purchase this special adapter-independent
- version of the software.
-
- Each LANtastic/AI installation disk is designed to be used on only one
- computer. Each disk installs a unique serial number on the node. The
- network will not allow two computers with identical serial numbers to
- operate on the same network. Keep the installation disk by the computer
- should you need to re-install or update the software on this node.
-
- AE2.EXE V1.17
-
- * This version is more compatible with computers with 80386 and 80486
- processors.
-
- AILANBIO.EXE V1.17
-
- * The BIOS in some COMPAQ PCs would cause REDIR.EXE to incorrectly
- identify Artisoft adapters as non-Artisoft cards.
-
- LANBIOS.EXE V2.03
-
- * The COMPAQ BIOS incompatibility with AILANBIO V1.17 has also been
- resolved for LANBIOS.
-
- LANBIOS2.EXE V2.17
-
- * The COMPAQ BIOS incompatibility with AILANBIO V1.17 has also been
- resolved for LANBIOS2.
-
- REDIR.EXE V3.03
-
- * In previous versions of REDIR.EXE, some nodes with a large value set for
- BEEP_CYCLE would experience long pauses between informative tones.
-
- * dBase IV V1.1 will occasionally lock up at the start of printing jobs.
-
- * In some installations, WordPerfect would erroneously identify network
- drives as floppy drives. Changes were also made to the SERVER program.
-
- * When using BTRIEVE, users would sometimes receive messages indicating
- file unlocking errors during save operations. These errors were
- due to a problem with the DOS SHARE program. Changes were made to both
- REDIR.EXE and SERVER.EXE.
-
- SERVER.EXE V3.03
-
- * Increased the speed at which a server opens files.
-
- * Corruption of the accounts file would sometimes occur if a server was
- brought up when multiple users had pending log-in requests using the
- NET LOGIN/WAIT command.
-
- * Users would occasionally receive "Divide overflow" errors when there
- were multiple jobs waiting in a server's print queue.
