NETWORKING: HOW DOES GRUNT WORK UNDER ALL O/S SYSTEMS?
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Grunt does not need any networking software. The MS-DOS program
"SHARE.EXE" is not required to run Grunt. While Grunt requires any
machine it is running on to be of MS-DOS version 5.0 or higher with the
above referenced specs, it does not require any special configuration
for running over a network.
Grunt will always assume you are running on a network. It's performance
will not be effected if you are running a single node [local], or 15
nodes through a network. It will, however, have a performance loss as
more nodes are added. On a Pentium 175 running Novell 3.12, 25 nodes
playing at the same time can be thrilling. However, slower machines may
require more CPU usage and hard drive seek/read/writes, hense causing
network-wide slowdown.
You may run Grunt locally, through a BBS, Windows 3.1 or Windows'95,
locally across a network such as Novell or Lantastic. Grunt will take
care of all logins and logouts to Grunt and keep track of all users
playing Grunt at the same time. If any problems occur in the networking
(stored in the DUNGEON directory as NETWORK.SYS), running CLEANUP.EXE
will cleanse and restore Grunt to normal functioning capacity. (Please
refer to the CLEANUP section of the HELP documentation/system.)
