Installation Complete

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Quarterdeck InternetSuite.

To read the most up-to-date information about InternetSuite:

Click README.

Where should you go from here?

If you have just set up an Internet account with one of Quarterdeck's Connect and Play providers, or if you already have an existing account with an Internet Service Provider, you are ready to explore the Internet.

If you installed QMosaic, you have state-of-the-art access to the fastest-growing sector of the Internet: the World Wide Web, a network of multimedia hypertext documents that you can navigate with a simple click of the mouse. Just click on a highlighted word, and see where it takes you!

If you installed QWinsock, your connection to the Internet is completely automatic. Just start a Quarterdeck network application like QMosaic, and QWinsock will automatically dial your service provider and connect you to the Internet.

Select Start QMosaic to start QMosaic, Quarterdeck's state-of-the-art Web browser.

Select Setup to start Quarterdeck Location Manager. The Location Manager provides an easy and quick way to manage Internet account information (phone numbers, user names, passwords, and so on), and is particularly useful if you have more than one Internet Service Provider, or use the same system in several locations.

Select Applets to install the helper applications included with InternetSuite. A new installation program will guide you step-by-step; just follow the on-screen instructions.

Select Exit to Windows to exit the installation program.

If you want to investigate any of the other programs in Quarterdeck InternetSuite (such as QTerm or QFTP), you can find them in the Quarterdeck InternetSuite program group.

Note:	If you do not yet have a connection to the Internet (for example, if the provider you selected has a waiting period while your account is being set up), you can still start QMosaic or QMC to get an idea of their functions and features, but you will not be able to retrieve network files or read news or mail without connecting to the Internet.

Quarterdeck Location Manager -- the program that keeps track of important information used to connect you to the Internet (your service provider's phone number, your e-mail address, and so on). If you do not already have Internet access, the Location Manager can help you sign up with a service provider. Or, if you have several accounts, the Location Manager can keep track of each one, setting you up to connect to each provider with just a click of the mouse.

Quarterdeck Global Chat -- Quarterdeck's Internet Chat software, with which you can join in real-time "chats" on a wide variety of subjects with people from all around the world.

Installation options: base directory and program group

There are three sections on this screen:

Base Directory Path

By default, each of the programs comprising the InternetSuite is installed into a subdirectory of a single directory. The recommended directory is C:\INET. For example:

C:\INET\QMOSIAC
C:\INET\QFTP
C:\INET\QMC

If you want to install the InternetSuite on a different drive or with a different directory name, you can enter the installation directory in the Base Directory Path text box.

Browse button

Installing QWinsock

WINSOCK.DLL (usually called just "Winsock") communicates between application programs (like browsers) and other "behind the scenes" software involved in the most technical level of network operations (such as the software that handles incoming and outgoing network information packets). Some Winsocks, like Quarterdeck's Winsock, have custom functions built in as well.

Quarterdeck Winsock custom features include automatic dialing and connection when a InternetSuite application requests a network service; seamless integration with the Location Manager if you want to select between several Internet service providers; a graphic display which tracks modem activity; and an adjustable "idle timer" which will automatically close your connection if you leave your system unused for a preset length of time.

You may or may not want to replace your existing Winsock. If you have a network application that requires a particular Winsock, do not replace your current Winsock with the Quarterdeck Winsock. If, however, you do not wish to retain your current Winsock, you can replace it with Quarterdeck's Winsock. You can always reinstall your previous Winsock if the need arises. The InternetSuite programs require a Winsock to connect to the network via a dialup (SLIP or PPP) connection.

If you have no Winsock on your system and you connect to the Internet using SLIP or PPP:

You must install QWinsock (Quarterdeck's WINSOCK) to enable the InternetSuite programs to function.

If your system is on a LAN that connects directly to the Internet;
if your network requires a particular Winsock to function;
or if you have another specific reason to prefer your current Winsock:

Do not install QWinsock. You do not need QWinsock if you do not use SLIP or PPP to connect to the Internet.

If you use your computer in more than one location, one of which involves a LAN and the other of which involves a dialup connection; or if your system is on a LAN, but you use a modem and a SLIP or PPP dialup connection to the Internet:

Install QWinsock in addition to your current Winsock. This will enable your system to use its current Winsock for regular network traffic and QWinsock for its dialup connections.

If you already have a dialup Winsock:

We recommend you install QWinsock instead of your current Winsock. The InternetSuite is optimized to use QWinsock, and will yield the best system performance with QWinsock; plus, QWinsock has several custom features which are integrated into InternetSuite programs, including automatic connection whenever network requests are made.

If your system reports that you have a Winsock installed, but you do not currently use any network applications:

Install QWinsock instead of your current Winsock.
