Product Reviewed: AmiPro.sam v3.0 from Lotus Development
Corportion
Classification: WordProcessing Software
Date: 03/15/1993
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Compatibility Statement:
Ami Pro 3.0 is compatible with LANtastic NOS 4.xx and 5.xx.
Product Overview:
Ami Pro is a Microsoft Windows 3.x based word processing system. As
of version 3.0, operation of Ami Pro over the LANtastic Network
Operating System is directly supported.
Test Equipment Configuration:
The following machines were used for Ami Pro 3.0 testing. All
machines used Artisoft AE-3 NICs. Testing was completed using
LANtastic NOS v4.1. The LANtastic peer to peer server is designated
by (S). DOS Share was loaded on the Ami Pro Server in all tests.
o CompuAdd 433: 486DX/33, DOS 5.0 (S) (Main Ami Pro Server)
o CompuAdd 325: 386SX/25, DOS 5.0, Windows 3.1
o Packard Bell 16x: 386SX/16, DOS 4.01, Windows 3.1
Installing Ami Pro v3.0:
Installation is achieved via Ami Pro INSTALL facility initiated by
invoking the RUN command within Windows. Choose the "Install Ami
Pro on Server" , "Complete Ami Pro Installation" and "Windows"
option icons during the installation. After Ami Pro has been
installed on the server, install the node software on each
designated workstation using the following steps:
Net Login \\<Ami Pro Server> <UserName> <Password>
Net Use <Drive ID> \\<Ami Pro Server>\<Ami Pro Installation
Drive>
Start Windows on the workstation.
Invoke the RUN command and enter in the command box:
<Drive ID>\<Ami Pro Installation Directory>\Node\Node
The Node program will install the necessary changes to the
Windows .INI files and create any necessary workstation
directories.
Compatibility Notes;
Because of the fixed requirement that all Ami Pro documents have
the extension of .SAM, documents cannot be passed via LANtastic
mail services using the DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) function of
LANtastic for Windows. The extension given to a mailed DDE document
under LANtastic is ._SP which Ami Pro cannot be coerced into
recognizing (Artisoft tracking number T01292).
Security:
If two or more users are accessing the same document
simultaneously, both may review the document, but only one may
update it. Any other user updating the document will receive a
"Document Locked" error message.
Printing:
Printing documents to network printers is fully supported by Ami
Pro 3.0.
