TCPOpen Windows Sockets DEMOPAK
			===============================
			        Date: 06/02/93
				Date: 07/27/93
				Date: 09/28/93


This DEMOPAK includes Lanera TCP/IP Kernel, its utilities and Lanera 
Windows Sockets DLL (version 1.0 and 1.1 compliant). It is intended for use 
by Windows Sockets application developers for compatibility testing. Lanera 
Windows Sockets implementation has been successfully tested with the 
following winsock applications:

	Oracle's Database Management System for PC/Windows
	Softronics, Inc. Softerm Modular (terminal emulation/communications)
	Starnet Communications Corp. X-terminal server (Micro X-WIN)
	Hummingbird eXceed/X (Windows Sockets version)	
	JSB MultiView/X and MultiView/DeskTop
	AGE Logic's X-terminal server
	National Instruments LabView, Lab device management package
	Network Monitoring Inc. SNAProbe, SNMP Management package
	Gopher Book 1.0 
	Hgopher
	ProPAC NOTIS
	PC Eudora (SMTP/POP E-mail package)
	QVT/Net (Telnet, FTP, RCP, E-mail, News Reader, LPR)
	etc, ...

Lanera is interested in pursuiting further tests with as many Windows 
Sockets compliant applications as possible in order to ensure compatibility 
and stability with all applications.

Although the DEMOPAK does not have date expiration (so you can test your
application(s) as long as you enjoy doing that).  It does have a serial 
number checking scheme that allows up to two stations on the local network 
to operate.


Setup TCPOpen
-------------
After unzipping the package, do the followings:

1. Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT file to set the PATH and TCPOPEN environment variables. 
   The PATH is set to refer to the directory where TCPOPEN executable files 
   reside, BIN; and the TCPOPEN variable is set to the directory where 
   TCPOpen product installed.  For example:

	PATH= .... ;C:\TCPOPEN\BIN
	SET TCPOPEN=C:\TCPOPEN

   Assuming you install TCPOpen on drive C:\.

2. Print a hard copy of the INSTALL.TXT file (in DOS text format) 
   and we STRONGLY SUGGEST you to review it before setting up TCPOPEN.
   Especially, those who intend to install TCPOPEN for running concurrently
   with an NOS such as Novell's Netware, Windows for Workgroups, etc...

   (Skip the chapter on Installation. This chapter applies to our 
    commercial version where the kernel is installed from a diskette.)

3. Run TCPSETUP to set up the followings:

   .  Network parameters (SITE menu),
	This menu updates SETUP\NETINFO file.

   .  Databases (DATABASE menu),
	This menu updates ETC\HOSTS and ETC\NETWORKS databases.

   .  Network interface (INTERFACE menu). 
	This menu generates BIN\LOADTCP.BAT and RMTCP.BAT files used to
	load and unload TCP/IP kernel respectively. It also generates
	SETUP\PROTOCOL.INI file if a (NDIS) network adapter was specified 
	or ODI\NET.CFG file if an (ODI) network adapter was selected.
	
   After TCPSETUP was invoked, position the yellow bar to "Interface" memu and 
   then press the [F1] key for help. The help screen will guide you through 
   setting up TCPOpen environment. 


4. Add an entry for TCP-KERN.GRP in Windows' PROGMAN.INI file so you can 
   access TCPOpen network utilities from Windows using icons.
 
5. To learn of the syntax of any command, type the command followed by -? or
   the [Enter] key as follow:

	C> PING [Enter]

6. The file KERNEL.UPD contains kernel update information and some useful
   information on known problems.

DNS Support
----------
   The DNS (Domain Name Service) implementation in the WINSOCK.DLL does not
   truly support asynchronous host lookup via DNS calls. Instead, the   
   asynchronous host lookup functions are mapped to use their synchronous 
   DNS calls. So async and sync DNS calls do pretty much the same thing,
   i.e. block while waiting for reply from DNS server.  The responses   
   for the asynchronous host lookup will be sent as a windows message. So 
   there are no real visible interface changes.  The fact that the async 
   calls are mapped to synchronous functions will cause the WSAIsBlocking()
   function to return true for a short period of time while communicating
   with the remote nameserver. 
 
   ASYNC DNS support is available shortly.


Run TCPOpen concurrently with NOS
---------------------------------
If you are installing TCPOpen with a network operating system such as
Novell's Netware or Windows LAN Manager or Workgroups, please consult 
the documentation in the INSTALL.TXT file and see update notes in the file
KERNEL.UPD.



Features NOT INCLUDED in this DEMO version 
------------------------------------------
The following feature is not included in this DEMOPAK:

* IPX tunneling support (obsolete now anyway)
* SLIP kernel (you can still set up SLIP connection using the Packet driver 
  kernel (TCPIP_PD.EXE))
