- Thank you for evaluating software from Aleph Takoma Systems. We currently
- have three networked Windows packages available:
-
- WINSTALL Release 2.0 (formerly N.A.I.)
- --------------------------------------
- WINSTALL is a complete system for automating the installation (and removal)
- of Windows applications on any network.
-
- WINSTALL can modify WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI, AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and
- any other ASCII file. It can update the registration database, copy files
- from the server to the local disk or to a user's personal directories, and
- it can install icons in the user's Windows workspace. WINSTALL supports
- the automatic tailoring of installations to each user's configuration
- through the use of environment variables, user-specific and application-
- specific variables.
-
- WINSTALL offers you the option of displaying custom messages before and/or
- after any installation or removal. WINSTALL also supports automatically
- calling an external program (Windows, DOS, even a batch file) at the end of
- any installation or removal. And WINSTALL can keep a full network log of
- all its activities.
-
- WINSTALL is currently available direct from Aleph Takoma Systems at $249
- (U.S.) per file server (unlimited users).
-
-
- WINSTALL /Auto
- --------------
- WINSTALL /Auto is an add-on program based on the core code of WINSTALL 2.0.
- It can run from the WIN.INI RUN= line or in the Windows 3.1 Startup group.
- This program will automatically install or remove all the applications in
- the list of applications available for installation. It can be configured
- to doso with no user intervention, and it can be configured to verify that
- the user has all the applications installed (if all are installed, it will
- quickly terminate itself).
-
- WINSTALL /Auto is currently available bundled with WINSTALL at $324 (U.S.)
- per file server (unlimited users), or as a separate add-on to previously
- purchased WINSTALL packages at $99 (U.S.) each.
-
- LANPrint 2.1
- ------------
- LANPrint is an attractive, easy-to-use network printer utility that enables
- even the most novice end user to switch his network printers, change his
- Windows default printer, and change his printer setup parameters.
-
- LANPrint works on any Windows-supported network and allows users to choose
- printers to attach to based on user-friendly descriptions that the LAN
- administrator enters into a configuration file. LANPrint then transparently
- handles all the network addressing and syntax to make the connection--the
- user never even sees the printer address or queue name.
-
- Before LANPrint attaches a printer, it checks the user's configuration to
- make certain that the type of printer he is attaching is entered in his
- Windows configuration. If it is not, LANPrint will tell the user and offer
- the option of cancelling the attach request.
-
- If the correct printer type is found in the user's Windows configuration,
- LANPrint will make sure that it is configured for the port the user is
- attaching it to, adjusting the configuration to include that port if
- necessary.
-
- And finally, LANPrint will automatically make the attached printer the
- user's Windows default printer, so that his next print operation will
- automatically go to the printer he has just attached.
-
- All this with a single click of the mouse! And there's more: LANPrint
- also offers users a simple listing of their configured printers, with the
- option of selecting any as the Windows default printer. And the LANPrint
- main screen offers a SETUP Button which will immediately produce the
- Windows printer setup screen for the current Windows default printer.
-
- LANPrint 2.1 also offers the option of command line operation, which means
- that you can set up separate icons for the attaching of individual printers.
- When operated in this fashion, LANPrint does all its work, notifies the user
- of its success, and then disappears. No lists, choices, or screens appear.
- This feature reduces the complexity of attaching a network printer to nothing
- more than double-clicking on an icon. You can create Program Manager icon
- groups of printers, one icon each, arranged by printer type, location, etc.
-
- LANPrint is available direct from Aleph Takoma Systems at $149 (U.S.)per
- file server (unlimited users).
