- LANPrint 2.1 (c) Copyright 1992, by Aleph Takoma Systems
-
- Thank you for purchasing LANPrint, a product of Aleph Takoma Systems. We
- hope you find LANPrint a convenient, easy way for your users to connect and
- disconnect network printers and to change their default Windows printer
- configurations.
-
- The LANPrint program consists of five files: LANPRINT.EXE (the executable
- program), LANPRINT.INI (the initialization file), PSETUP.DLL (the DLL written
- by Costas Kitsos which provides access to the Windows default printer setup
- screen), THREED.VBX (the library which provides many of LANPrint's 3-D screen
- effects), and VBRUN100.DLL (the Visual Basic runtime library).
-
- Other important files included with LANPrint Release 2.1 are LANPRINT.WRI
- (the LANPrint documentation file), ADDENDUM.WRI (full documentation of the
- Release 2.1 enhancements), LANPRINT.TXT (this file), and RELNOTES.TXT
- (differences from the last version).
-
- LANPrint should work with any network that works with Windows, including
- DEC PathWorks and NFS. The files PSETUP.DLL, THREED.VBX, and VBRUN100.DLL
- should be placed in each user's Windows\System directory (recommended) or
- Windows directory. The other two files, LANPRINT.EXE and LANPRINT.INI, should
- reside in a directory on the file server where all users have READ access.
-
- The file LANPRINT.INI contains the listing of available network printers, as
- well as a listing of the LPT Ports you want to allow users to connect to
- networked printers. LANPRINT.INI is an ASCII text file which can be edited
- with any text editor, including the Windows Notepad. Before testing LANPrint,
- you will need to modify the sample LANPRINT.INI to reflect the printers
- available in your network.
-
- Please be sure to read the documentation included with the program for the
- complete details of the configuration and operation of LANPrint--it's very
- brief, and it will tell you all you need to know about LANPrint. LANPrint is
- a truly low cost enhancement to the Windows environment, especially for less
- technical users who do not want to struggle with the network names of printers
- or the intricacies of the many Control Panel options for printers.
-
- We also hope you look for our other networked Windows program, WINSTALL
- (formerly called N.A.I.), the network application installer for Windows.
- Version 2.0 has recently been released, including a large number of major
- enhancements, including the use of environment variables, a complete network
- log feature, the ability to modify AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and one other
- ASCII file, the ability to display custom messages before and/or after
- installation, and the ability to call another program at the completion of the
- installation and/or removal process.
-
- Thanks for evaluating LANPrint!
