>>>> PC-NFS Programmer's Toolkit version 4.0 <<<< **************************** END USER'S DISK INSTRUCTIONS **************************** (C) 1992 by Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Introduction ============ This file describes the contents of the End User's disk, and explains how to install and use the programs on the disk. These programs are essential to the operation of applications written with the PC-NFS Programmer's Toolkit version 4.0. The files on this disk are updated versions of several essential system files that ship with PC-NFS version 4.0. These new versions correct several known problems with the operation of certain PC-NFS utilities. End users who receive this disk with a third-party PC-NFS application must install the files on this disk. These files will replace existing PC-NFS 4.0 files. Users who have already upgraded to PC-NFS 4.0a do not need these files. Table of Contents ================= 1 - List of included files 2 - Installing the files using UPDATE.EXE 3 - Checking version numbers to verify installation 4 - Using the files on this disk 1) List of Included Files ====================== This disk contains the following files: READ1ST.TXT No version # This file RTM.EXE Version 4.0a Resident transport module RNMFILE.EXE Version 4.0a Resident name-service module RNMNIS.EXE Version 4.0a Resident name-service module RNMFILE.DLL Version 4.0a Resident name-service DLL RNMNIS.DLL Version 4.0a Resident name-service DLL RTMREM.EXE Version 4.0a Resident module unloader RNMREM.EXE Version 4.0a Resident module unloader TKLIB.DLL Version 4.0a Toolkit API library DLL DNET.DLL No version # PC-NFS API library DLL NETCONF Version 4.0a Transport identifier file UPDATE.EXE No version # Installation program 2) Installation Using UPDATE.EXE ============================= To install the files on this disk, place the disk into a floppy disk drive such as drive A:. Type a: to make this drive the active drive. Next, type update Then, answer the on-screen prompts. The Update program will search the NFSPATH, NFSDRIVE:\nfs (PC-NFS 3.5 only), and PATH directories. If it finds an older version of the files RTM.EXE, RNMNIS.EXE, RNMNIS.DLL, RNMFILE.EXE, RNMFILE.DLL, NETCONF, DNET.DLL, and TKLIB.DLL, it will offer you the option of replacing those files in each directory where it finds such a file. If you want to save copies of the older versions of these files, answer "n" to the prompt that asks whether you want to upgrade the file. The Update program will find every location where one of these files is stored and give you the option to replace that file. If you want to keep an older version of a file in one directory and the new version in another directory, answer "n" to one of the prompts that asks to replace a file. Whether you elect to replace all the files, some of the files, or none of the files, Update will exit to MS-DOS when it is finished. You can elect to manually install the files from the End User's disk by copying them to an appropriate directory. If Update finds none of the End User's disk files in any of the directories it searches, it will copy the files into every directory specified by NFSPATH. This copy operation could result in the consumption of substantial disk space if NFSPATH contains a number of entries. Having copies of different versions of the same Toolkit module on your disk could lead to application execution errors unless you carefully assign directory search paths. Checking Version Numbers ======================== You can verify a successful installation of the files on this disk by changing the directory path to the directory where the files were installed. For example, type c:\nfs to change the active path to drive C and directory \nfs. Next, type rtm -v If your installation of this disk was successful, your screen will display: RTM.EXE version 4.0a If the screen displays RTM.EXE version 3.0 you either chose to preserve the earlier version of the RTM.EXE file during the Upgrade program's operation, or the installation of the files on this disk was unsuccessful. If you think that the Upgrade program did not successfully install the files on this disk, run the program again. Answer all the on-screen prompts carefully. Using the Files =============== Unless otherwise specified by a third-party application's instructions, the only file on this disk that PC-NFS users load directly is the resident transport module, RTM.EXE. If you use PC-NFS version 4.0, refer to the PC-NFS Reference Manual's chapter on PC-NFS commands, and the chapter on using Microsoft Windows for information about using this module. Your third-party application manual may also contain information about the use of RTM.EXE. If you use PC-NFS and Microsoft Windows, you must load RTM.EXE before you run Windows. To load the RTM, type rtm from the MS-DOS command line. Or, place the the line rtm into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to load the RTM automatically on system start-up.
