Program Problems?
=================
If you experience any problems with any of the applications, then we really
want to hear from you. Please drop us an e-mail message and we will do our best
to resolve your problem.
Common Problems
===============
1) Install does not work properly on system running 4OS2
Some users running 4OS2 have had problems correctly installing NNS V2.1.
If you have such a setup, run CMD.EXE from an 4OS2 command prompt before
running the NNS INSTALL program.
2) FTPD crashes or reports a bad or missing FTPD.DLL
If you installed NNS V2.1 into a new directory but have a copy of NetSuite V2.0
still on your system, update the LIBPATH statement to remove the reference
to the previous version of FTPD.DLL and reboot.
3) Applications start but are not registered.
Copy the netsuite.cfg fle from your installation disk or previous version
into the base directory for the V2.1 release. Alternately, run the
Register program and reenter the codes manually.
4) Programs report bad or missing NEOLOGIC.DLL
Make sure this file is in the directory wher you installed NNS. The DLL
MUST reside in this location and LIBPATH (in CONFIG.SYS) must have a
reference to this directory.
5) News loads but does not update the subscriptions properly
Make sure that the username and password fields in the configuration
notebook are blank. If they contain information, remove this data and
restart News.
This information is used only for news servers which require a special log in
process. Very few servers require this.
Upgrades
========
It is our policy to offer free upgrades from previous versions of NNS,
LA Times, and LA Gopher. If you have previously registered NetSuite 1.0, you
can re-enter your registration keys to enable the shareware version. You can
find these keys in the NETSUITE.CFG file of you old installation.
If you are a registered user of LA Times or LA Gopher please contact us to
arrange for some registration keys.
Availability
============
NeoLogic Network Suite is available on the Internet from ftp.cdrom.com,
hobbes.nmsu.edu or from BMT's FTP server at 166.82.142.130. Our own home
site is ftp://teamos2.org/pub/shareware/neologic. The shareware file is zipped
in a file called NSUITE21.ZIP.
NeoLogic Network Suite is available as a complete suite or as separate applications.
There are discounts for purchasing multiple applications.
The NeoLogic Network Suite package can be ordered directly from NeoLogic Inc. at the
address above or from BMT Micro at 800-414-4268.
Installation
=============
Unzip the nns21b.zip file to a floppy or a temporary directory. Then change to
that drive:\directory. Run INSTALL to set up the applications you want.
If you have previously installed NNS, then install this version directly over top of
the current installation. Other wise you will need to manually edit the CONFIG.SYS
file to correct the LIBPATH statement.
REGISTERED USERS: If you installed 2.1b to a different directory, you will need to
copy NETSUITE.CFG from your previous installation or from the orginal floppy you
received.
You can install this update directly over the previous 2.0 release. Installing
over V1.0 is not recommended.
