This is version 1.00.21 of LANtastic Chat, a pre-release version. It
is compatible with the NOS 5.x and 6.x DOS and Windows versions of
chat.
To install this program:
1. Unzip the file (using version 2.04g or later of PKUNZIP.EXE)
into the LANtastic program directory. Two files, PMLTCHAT.EXE
and PMLTCHAT.HLP must be in this directory.
2. Create a program object in the LANtastic folder on the desktop.
This can be done by opening the Templates folder, and dragging
a program template to the LANtastic folder.
3. In the Settings dialog for the new program object, set the
program name to PMLTCHAT.EXE, then click on the General tab, and
change the title to "LANtastic Chat".
4. Close the Settings dialog. You can now start a Chat session by
double-clicking on the LANtastic Chat object.
IF you would like Chat to continuously listen for calls from other
computers, you can add it to your startup folder. To do this,
5. Open the Startup folder, usually found in the OS/2 system folder.
6. Make a program object in the startup folder, as described in steps
2 and 3, above.
7. After adding the program name to the Settings "Program" page, move
the cursor to the Parameters field, and enter "-m". This starts
Chat in the minimized state. Chat can be run minimized to the
desktop, to the viewer, or hidden, depending on the Minimized
setting on the Settings "Window" page.
8. Close the Settings dialog. After the next system startup, when
Chat "hears" a call from another workstation, it will restore itself
to normal size, and beep.
As with previous versions, Chat listens for calls to your machine name
as specified at installation time, not your login name (where they are
different). To obtain online help for Chat, start the program, and press
function key F1.
If SMB support is enabled, the PROTOCOL.INI needs to be manually edited.
The reason is that the NETBEUI_nif section NAMES parameter is set by default
to 21, which is not enough to support any chat sessions. We recommend
increasing it to 32.
