- NOTE: It seems like "Windows 3.11 for Workgroups" does not need any of
- the following changes.
-
- To install Terminate under Windows, simply create a group and create
- three items in the group. Use the 3 PIF files to start the programs, so
- you don't have to worry about setting them up yourself. You could use the
- icons found in this directory as well.
-
- Windows 3.1 installation tips
- =============================
-
- To use Terminate with windows we provide a TERMINAT.PIF and a TERMINAT.ICO.
- But you must also make some adjustments to the windows setup first.
-
- Edit SYSTEM.INI
-
- Under [386Enh]:
-
- Com1AutoAssign=0
-
- Under the windows menu: Main / Control Panel / 386 Enhanced
-
- You should read NEVER WARN at the comport you use.
-
- The comport used for modem must not be autoassigned by windows. If you
- use COM4, just enter Com4AutoAssign=0
-
- Change the values to match the correct address for the comports.
-
- COM1BASE=3F8h
- COM2BASE=2F8h
- COM3BASE=3E8h
- COM4BASE=2E8h
-
- Other values that can be changed, try reading the docs for windows.
-
- COMIrqSharing=true (This has only effect on EISA and Microchannel machines)
- COMBoostTime=10
- COM1Buffer=1024
- COM2Buffer=1024
- COM3Buffer=1024
- COM4Buffer=1024
-
- If your modem has a 16550 UART you also have to install another
- communication driver to support 16550 UART FIFO in DOS-windows.
- Use a driver like CHCOMB.386 (CHCOMB.ARJ which can be downloaded from DAN BBS.
-
- To use the soundblaster card enter under [386Enh]:
- DMABUFFERSIZE=059
-
- If you have many problems using the Windows coms-driver you could use the
- communication ports directly by changing WIN.INI to:
-
- COM1:=COM1.DOS or
- COM2:=COM2.DOS or
- COM3:=COM3.DOS or
- COM4:=COM4.DOS
-
- Information from Microsoft:
-
- Windows cannot use a serial port if the address is to the right of the
- missing port. An example of this problem could be that the modem is on
- COM4 and COM3 is not physical present.
-
- Without a physical COM3 the BIOS will find COM4 on address 02E8 and will
- call it COM3 in the BIOS field. This confuses Windows so it cannot find
- COM4 and thinks that COM3 is on 02E8/IRQ4.
-
- This behaviour is normal for many BIOS's and can be fixed with COMxIRQ=-1
- in SYSTEM.INI under the [386Enh] section. For this example should the
- following line be inserted in SYSTEM.INI:
-
- COM3IRQ=-1
