-
- QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
-
- To start the program double click on the icon in the directory viewer.
- Click SELECT on the icon bar "simnet" icon to produce the control window.
-
- * To load an existing password file *
- Click SELECT on the "display" button in the control window. The local
- fileserver must either be running or have been "seen" by the filer.
-
- * To select a different server *
- Click MENU over the menu icon in the top part of the control window.
- A menu will appear after a few seconds delay with a list of the known
- fileservers. Select the required server from the menu. Click SELECT on
- the "display" button again to view the password file of the selected server.
-
- (Note: Password files load faster when !SimNet is running on the same
- machine as the server software. This is because !SimNet uses direct access
- to the disk file rather than using the file server protocol, which is
- very inefficient for bulk loading password entries.)
-
- !SimNet has extensive interactive help messages displayed using the
- standard Acorn !Help application.
-
- For more detailed help in text form, see the files in the 'manual' directory.
-
- ======================================================================
-
- This program has been through a rigorous test regime .. well at one
- location at least. There are no 'obvious' faults, but I will strive
- to fix any issues that may arise in practice. This cannot be guaranteed,
- of course, but there is even less chance of a fix if no one tells me
- about faults!
-
- If you have any problems with this program please mail me at one
- of the following:
- Internet: cc@sni.co.uk
- Arcade: User#652
- Snail: 49 Crowthorne Road

-
- Please state clearly the nature of the fault and provide a description of
- your system configuration, including:
- machine type
- network interface type
- RISCOS Version
- Level 4 file server version
-
- Finding a fix can only be successful if the author can repeat the fault.
