The Norton pcANYWHERE 4.5 & OS/2 Version 2.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although pcANYWHERE 4.5 was not designed to operate under OS/2, several
pcANYWHERE users and Norton Technical Representatives have been able to
reliably establish connections under an OS/2 DOS BOX. Although pcANYWHERE
will work fine as a REMOTE in an OS/2 DOS Box, running the HOST program may
cause unusual problems or it may hang your system. If you wish to run the HOST
program in an OS/2 DOS Box please read the following carefully. Failure to do
so may cause unusual side effects or damage to your system. Symantec
Corporation will not be held liable for any damage to your system. Before
completing the following, it would be helpful for you to read the On-Line
documents that came with OS/2 before creating Image files.
Step 1: Create a DOS boot disk for AWHOST.
Step 2: Create and IMAGE disk for the boot disk by using the VMDISK command.
(Example: VMDISK A: C:\OS2\AWHOST.IMG)
Enter IMAGE mode. Once in IMAGE mode, you can edit your
DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. The following is an example:
CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=FSFILTER.SYS ;Please use OS/2 driver copied to image disk.
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\EMM386.SYS ;Please use OS/2 driver.
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\HIMEM.SYS ;Please use OS/2 driver.
DOS=HIGH
FILES=20
BUFFERS=20
AUTOEXEC.BAT:
C:\OS2\MDOS\MOUSE ;Please use OS/2 Mouse Driver.
PATH C:\;C:\DOS;C:\AWHOST ;Set Path.
PROMPT $P$G ;Set Prompt.
C:
AWHOST -M=W ;Start AWHOST waiting for a connection.
Step 3: Create an ICON for AWHOST.
Step 4: Open the SETTINGS for AWHOST.
Step 5: Change the DOS setting for DOS_STARTUP_DRIVE to C:\OS2\AWHOST.IMG)
Step 6: Create a shadow of the ICON in the startup driver folder to automa-
-tically boot the DOS session.
Step 7: Shutdown and reboot.
The following options should be disabled within the pcANYWHERE 4.5 HOST program:
* Reboot On Disconnect (Security, Preferences. Set this option to NO.)
* Special Keyboard Handler Types 1 & 2 (Features, Preferences. Set this option
to NONE.)
Other Specifics:
* Do not use ZMODEM file transfers with AWSEND, use only pcANYWHERE Protocol.
ZMODEM will most likely hang your system.
* You may attempt remote printing from the HOST to REMOTE, if you experience
problems try printing the HOST applications file to disk and then transferring
to the remote for printout.
