- DDEVICES
- Enter the name of a physical device driver loaded on this
- CD Server to be shared onto the network by CD Share.
- For example you may have a line in your config.sys similar
- to the following :
- DEVICE = HITACHIA.SYS /D:CDROMS1 /N:3
- Name of device driver
- Number of Drives
- attached to
- controller.
- DEVICE = HITACHIA.SYS /D:CDROMS2 /N:2
- Name of another driver
- The total for this server would be two device drivers with
- a total of 3+2 = 5 drives. Only those drives controlled by
- device drivers listed in the shared devices table will be
- be made available to the network.
- Press Enter
- taSERVER
- This is a table of device drivers on the server that are to
- be shared onto the network. These device drivers are usually
- loaded in the config.sys file on the server, each device
- driver may be controlling a number of CDROM drives.
- Press Enter with an entry highlighted to alter it, Del to
- remove it from the table, or Ins to add an extra entry.

- WORKSTN
- This is a table of default CDROM drives for the CD Workstation's
- logical drives to be attached to.
- Note that if more entries than MAXIMUM REDIRECTED DRIVES are
- specified then only MAXIMUM REDIRECTED DRIVES will be attached.
- Logical drive connections may be altered in batch files or from
- the command line at later stages using CDManager.
- Press Esc to quit or ENTER for more help
- DRIVES
- On this form you list the details of ONE of your default redirected
- CDROM drives.
- SERVER NAME
- :Name of CD Server with required CDROM.
- DEVICE NAME (On SERVER NAME) :Name of DEVICE DRIVER to attach to on
- CD Server
- DRIVE NUMBER (On DEVICE NAME) :Drive number (0,1,2,etc) on DEVICE NAME
- to attach to.
- For example if CDSERVER, CDROMS1, and 0 were entered then this logical
- drive would attach to drive 0 on the device driver CDROMS1 on CD-Server
- named CDSERVER.

- MAIN HELP SCREEN
- The CD-SHARE installation program allows you to set up a
- computer as a CD Server(either dedicated or non-dedicated),
- or as a CD Workstation only. A non-dedicated server MUST
- also be set up as a CD workstation to access any local
- CDROM device drivers that are shared onto the network via
- the CD Share server.
- The installation program copies all of the CDSHARE to the
- specified installation directory, then creates a startup
- batch file which will setup CD-Share on the PC according to
- the server and workstation parameters entered. If the PC
- is to be a CD Share workstation then a "device=CDWORK.SYS"
- line is also appended to the CONFIG.SYS file. The default
- name of the batch file is "STARTCD.BAT", this batch file
- should be called after installation to start CD Share on
- the PC.
- If a CD Server is not dedicated and drives are specified in
- the workstation drive list then the batch file will set up
- the node as a non-dedicated CD Server/Workstation.
- Press ENTER for more help
- uMAIN3
- Use the left and right arrow keys to select installation for
- either a Workstation or a server, then set the name of the
- installation directory and the startup batch file. If you
- aren't running INSTALL from the same directory as the CDSHARE
- files then you will also have to set the source path to copy
- CDSHARE files from. Once you have pressed Enter on the "COPY
- INSTALL FILES FROM" field you enter the configuration menu.
- To get from the menu back to the GLOBAL settings press Esc.
- Press Enter for more help
- Use the first two menu items to set server and workstation
- parameters then select 'Install' to perform the installation.
- Select 'Quit' to exit back to DOS, or press Esc to alter the
- GLOBAL settings.

- This screen allows you to set parameters for a CD Server.
- SERVER NAME
- : Name of server used by workstations to attach
- to server CDROM devices. This name must be unique
- for each CD Server and Workstation.
- MAXIMUM USERS
- : Maximum simultaneous users logged into server
- MAXIMUM TASKS
- : Maximum simultaneous network requests serviced
- BUFFER SIZE
- : Size of network buffer (in 2K Sectors) per task.
- DEDICATE SERVER
- : YES runs the server in dedicated mode for maximum
- performance Note: CACHE always used when dedicated
- RUN CACHE
- : YES indicates that you wish to use CD-CACHE
- CACHE TYPE
- : TYPE of memory to use for CACHE. DO NOT use EXT if
- : HIMEM.SYS or an expanded memory manager is loaded.
- CACHE SIZE
- : Amount of memory in K bytes to use for cache.
- CACHE BLOCK SIZE
- : Size of cache management buffers in sectors. This
- should always be a multiple of BUFFER SIZE for
- maximum performance.
- SHARED DEVICES
- : Table of names of local CDROM device drivers ON
- THE SERVER to be shared onto the network.

- These parameters customize the setup for a CD-Share workstation.
- WORKSTATION NAME
- :Unique Netbios session name for this
- workstation session.
- WORKSTATION DEVICE NAME
- :The networked CDROM's will appear as
- drives on a CDROM device driver by
- this name. e.g. MSCD
- , MSCD001
- MAXIMUM REDIRECTED DRIVES :This is the maximum number of network
- CDROM drives that may SIMULTANEOUSLY
- be connected to the workstation at
- any one time. Note that CDManager may
- used to alter drive connections to
- CD Servers, so one drive is usually
- sufficient. Also MSCDEX uses approx
- 4K of extra memory for each drive.
- INSTALL MSCDEX
- :If YES then a line will be entered in
- the startcd.bat file to run MSCDEX.
- STARTING DRIVE LETTER
- :If INSTALL MSCDEX is YES this tells
- MSCDEX what it's starting drive letter
- is to be.
