TCP/IP Version 2.0 for OS/2
This file contains information explaining the content of the
Read Me folder, an overview of the product and its kits,
and some information on how to order additional TCP/IP kits.
The order of information in this file is:
1. Completing the installation of the Base Kit.
2. What is in the Read Me folder?
3. Product Kit overview.
4. How to Order TCP/IP.
1. Completing the installation of the Base Kit.
The README file on Disk #1 of the IBM TCP/IP Version 2.0 for
OS/2 Base Kit contains Pre-Installation instructions that
should have been followed if the following are true:
1. You have just installed the TCP/IP Base Kit.
2. You had a previous version of TCP/IP installed.
3. You installed to a different directory than where the
previous version was installed.
If all three of these hold true, and you did not follow the
Pre-Installation steps described in the README on Disk #1 of
the Base Kit, then you should complete the following steps:
1. Copy all of the files (including all of the
subdirectories) from the previously installed TCP/IP's
ETC directory to the newly installed TCP/IP Version 2.0
for OS/2 Base Kit's ETC directory. Example:
[C:\]xcopy /s %etc%\*.* <TCPIP_Install_Path>\etc
2. Update the line in your CONFIG.SYS which contains the
command to SET the ETC environment variable. This
should be updated so that it points to the ETC
directory off of the path where you installed the new
copy of the TCP/IP Version 2.0 for OS/2 Base Kit.
Example:
SET ETC=<TCPIP_Install_Path>\ETC
3. Remove any references to the old TCP/IP's DLL directory
from the LIBPATH statement.
4. Remove any references to the old TCP/IP's directories
from the following list of environment variables:
SET BOOKSHELF=
SET READIBM=
SET HELP=
SET PATH=
5. Shutdown and reboot your system.
2. What is in the Read Me folder?
This Read Me folder contains icons for any readme files that
accompany TCP/IP kits that you might have installed (note that
not all kits have readme files). Refer to the kit-specific
readme files for last-minute information on a particular kit.
3. Product Kit overview.
IBM Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Version 2.0 for OS/2 provides new and enhanced TCP/IP functions
for the OS/2 environment.
To provide ordering flexibility, TCP/IP Version 2.0 for OS/2
is packaged in several kits. Following is a list of kits
including a brief description of each:
1. Base Kit
2. Network File System Kit
3. MultiMail Kit
4. Domain Name Server Kit
5. DOS/Windows Access Kit
6. Extended Networking Kit
7. NetBIOS
8. Programmer's Toolkit
9. X Window System Server Kit
10. X Window System Client Kit
11. OSF/Motif Kit
12. Applications Kit
13. Total Kit
Note: You can install the component kits either on the TCP/IP
Base Kit or on another product that provides the necessary
protocol stack.
1. Base Kit
Provides the protocol stack necessary to support all the
functions of TCP/IP for OS/2. It also provides a base set of
applications, including Telnet, FTP, Sendmail, and Rexec. It
also provides network management capabilities based on the
simple network management protocol (SNMP).
New in this release: Workplace Shell integration, NewsReader/2
(an internet news reader), performance enhancements to serial
line internet protocol (SLIP) and Telnet, enhancements to the
SNMP agent, and separate key mapping tables for Telnet and FTP.
2. Network File System Kit
Provides the Network File System client and server, which enable
you to share drive resources across networks as if the resources
were local.
New in this release: NFS client provides file-locking.
3. MultiMail Kit
Enables you to transmit multimedia messages in conformance with
the MIME RFC 1341 multimedia mail standard. In addition to
plain text, it supports a wide variety of multimedia data,
including enriched text, images, audio, simple video clips, and
binary files.
This new kit will be available soon.
4. Domain Name Server Kit
Aids in the use and management of your network by allowing you
to assign symbolic names to internet addresses.
This is a new kit.
5. DOS/Windows Access Kit
Enables DOS applications written to the IBM TCP/IP
Version 2.1 for DOS programming interfaces, and
Windows*** applications written to the Windows Sockets
API Version 1.0 or Version 1.1 specifications to run in
an OS/2 virtual DOS machine on top of TCP/IP Version 2.0
for OS/2.
This is a new kit.
6. Extended Networking Kit
Enables you to install and configure an X.25 or SNALINK
interface.
New in this release: support for IP over SNA LU6.2.
7. NetBIOS
Provides a TCP/IP transport layer for NetBIOS applications,
enabling NetBIOS applications to communicate over a TCP/IP
internet with the native NetBIOS product.
NetBIOS applications are limited to a local area network
(LAN); but with TCP/IP for OS/2, NetBIOS applications can
communicate over both a LAN and a WAN.
The NetBIOS installation process does not use the CID
architecture.
New in this release: compliance with RFC 1001/1002.
8. Programmer's Toolkit
Provides routines for application programming in TCP/IP for
OS/2. These routines include sockets, RPCs, the File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) application programming interface (API), and the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) distributed
programming interface.
New in this release: 32-bit APIs and enhancements to SNMP.
9. X Window System Server Kit
Enables you to display and control X Window System client
applications in an OS/2 Presentation Manager windowed session.
Because the X Window System server uses OS/2 Presentation
Manager as the window manager, it supports all of the keyboard,
display, and pointer devices that are supported by OS/2
Presentation Manager.
New in this release: PMX is now a 32-bit application that
complies with X11R5.
10. X Window System Client Kit
Consists of two components: the X Window System Client
Runtime Services and the X Window System Client Programmer's
Toolkit.
The Runtime Services provide the dynamic link libraries (DLLs)
that enable users to run X Window System applications on OS/2.
The Programmer's Toolkit provides the standard X Window System
application programming interfaces (APIs) from the MIT
Consortium that enable users to create X Window System
applications for OS/2 or to port X Window applications from
other platforms. The X Window System Client Programmer's
Toolkit requires the TCP/IP Programmer's Toolkit.
This is a new kit.
11. OSF/Motif Kit
Consists of two components: the OSF/Motif Runtime Services
and the OSF/Motif Programmer's Toolkit.
The Runtime Services provide the dynamic link libraries (DLLs)
that enable users to run OSF/Motif applications on OS/2. The
Programmer's Toolkit provides the standard OSF/Motif widgets and
header files that enable users to create OSF/Motif applications
on OS/2. The OSF/Motif Kit requires the X Window Client Kit and
the Programmer's Toolkit.
This new kit will be available soon.
12. Applications Kit
Provides the TCP/IP for OS/2 applications included in the Base
Kit without the underlying TCP/IP protocol stack, allowing you
to install the functions of the Base TCP/IP Kit on a comparable
stack.
This is a new kit.
13. Total Kit
TCP/IP for OS/2 also provides a Total Kit, which provides the
most often used functions of TCP/IP for OS/2. The Total Kit
consists of the Base Kit, the Network File System Kit, the
Extended Networking Kit, and the X Window System Server Kit.
4. How to Order TCP/IP.
