            Installing NetTools
            -------------------


NetTools is easy to install--just run the Setup program (SETUPM.EXE),
which is located in NETTOOLS.ZIP. Setup installs
the NetTools modules--Applications Manager, Desktop Control Language,
and Print Manager. When you finish running the Setup program, you may
need to fine-tune the NetTools configuration for the users and
administrators in your organization.

Important:  You must run the Setup program to install NetTools. The
NetTools files are compressed files. If you copy these files
yourself, important setup procedures may be bypassed, causing
unpredictable results.

Upgrade Note: This manual describes how to perform a new installation
of NetTools. If you are upgrading to NetTools from an earlier release
of NetTools, refer to the Release Notes, located in the NETTOOLS
directory, NETTOOLS.ZIP, or in each module's .ZIP file.

1.0 Installation Overview
-------------------------

The steps required to install NetTools are as follows:

1. Prepare to install.
2. Start the Setup program (SETUPM.EXE).
3. Select the destination drive and directory.
4. Select installation options.
5. Monitor the copying and decompression of files. (The actual copying
   and decompression is performed by the Setup program.)
6. Configure the modules.

After installation, you will need to fine-tune the configuration.

The following sections describe each step.

You can install the NetTools modules--Applications Manager, Desktop
Control Language, and Print Manager--at the same time or separately.
This manual assumes that you are installing all of the modules at the
same time.

The installation steps are essentially the same whether you are
installing all of the modules or just one. Differences between
complete and individual module installations are indicated where
appropriate.


2.0 System Requirements
-----------------------

The following list contains the minimum system requirements to run
this version of NetTools.

  *  An 80386/SX or higher based computer.
  *  4 megabytes of memory.
  *  One 1.44 MB (3-1/2") floppy disk drive (for installation).
  *  MS-DOS Version 5.0 or later.
  *  Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 or later, or Windows for Workgroups
     Version 3.11 or later.
  *  A monitor and VGA graphics card or other high-resolution graphics
     card compatible with Windows Version 3.1 or later.
  *  A Microsoft Windows-compatible mouse, recommended but not
     required.


3.0 Step 1:  Prepare to Install
-------------------------------

Before you can install NetTools, you must:

  *  Uncompress each .ZIP file onto a separate 3-1/2" 1.44 MB disk.
     Label each disk as follows and place the correct UN-ZIPPED files
     on each disk.
    NETTOOLS.ZIP    NetTools Setup (Disk 1 of 6)
    APPMAN1.ZIP     Applications Manager Disk 1 (Disk 2 of 6)
    APPMAN2.ZIP     Applications Manager Disk 2 (Disk 3 of 6)
    PRINTMAN.ZIP    Print Manager Disk 1 (Disk 4 of 6)
    DCL1.ZIP        DCL Disk 1 (Disk 5 of 6)
    DCL2.ZIP        DCL Disk 2 (Disk 6 of 6)

  *  Log on to the file server on which NetTools is to be installed.
     Since you will need certain rights for creating subdirectories
     and files on the server, we recommend that you log in with
     Supervisor-equivalent rights.

  *  Determine the directory where you want to install NetTools. You
     should include that directory name in your search path before you
     install NetTools.

     Note:  If the NetTools directory is not in the search path, the
     Setup program cannot locate APPMAN.EXE for properly configuring the
     SYSTEM.INI file. Therefore, you cannot use Applications Manager
     as the Windows shell.

  *  Start Microsoft Windows.
     The installation program is a Windows application and requires
     you to install the product while running Windows.  If you do not
     have Microsoft Windows installed on your workstation or available
     to you on the network, please refer to the Windows manual for
     assistance in installing your Windows software.

  *  Make sure that you do not start or have running any versions of
     NetTools products.


4.0 Step 2:  Start the Setup Program
------------------------------------

Insert one of the following disks in the floppy disk drive:

  *  If you are installing all of the NetTools modules, insert the
     disk containing NETTOOLS.ZIP.

  OR

  *  If you are installing a single module, insert Disk 1 for that
     module--Applications Manager, Print Manager, or Desktop Control
     Language.

Start SETUPM.EXE in either of the following ways:
  *  Choose the File/Run from Windows Program Manager, and type
     <drive>:SETUPM, where <drive>: is the floppy drive letter (A
     or B).

  OR

  *  Use the Windows File Manager. Change the current directory to
     the drive that contains the Setup program, (A: or B:), then
     double-click on SETUPM.EXE.

The Setup program will load, displaying its logo.

Note:  If you need to exit the Setup program before completing the
installation, click the Exit icon on the Setup screen.


5.0 Step 3:  Select the Destination Drive and Directory
-------------------------------------------------------

When you start the Setup program from a floppy disk, the first dialog
box to be displayed asks you for the destination drive and directory.

The Installation Destination dialog box indicates the default drive and
directory in which NetTools will be installed. You can type in another
drive letter followed by a directory name. For example, F:\NETTOOLS.
You can also choose Browse, select a drive and directory, and choose OK.

Note:  On a network, the NetTools directory must be placed in an area
that is accessible to all users of NetTools.

Choose the Continue button when you are ready to proceed with the
installation.


6.0 Step 4:  Select Installation Options
----------------------------------------

After you have selected the destination drive and directory, the
Installation Options dialog box is displayed. This dialog box lets
you choose:

  *  Complete Installation, which installs all of the NetTools modules.

  OR

  *  Custom Installation, which installs only the modules you specify.

Choose the image representing the type of installation you want to perform.

If you choose Complete Installation, you can proceed to "Step 5: Monitor
the Copying and Decompression of Files" in this chapter.

If you choose Custom Installation, see "Custom Installation Options."

Note:  If you need to return to the previous dialog box, choose the
Back button.

Individual Module Installations: This dialog box is not displayed if
you are installing Applications Manager or Print Manager individually.


6.1 Custom Installation Options
-------------------------------
If you choose Custom Installation in the Installation Options dialog box,
the Custom Options dialog box is displayed. Select the modules you want
to install--Applications Manager, Print Manager, and/or Desktop Control
Language (DCL). You can also specify which Desktop Control Language
modules you want to install by choosing the Custom button.

If you choose Custom, see "Custom DCL Options."

When you have finished selecting the modules you want to install,
choose the Continue button.


6.2 Custom DCL Options
----------------------
If you choose the Custom button in the Custom Options dialog box, the
Desktop Control Language Custom Options dialog box is displayed. Select
the desired functionality for DCL:

  *  Create Scripts: Create scripts, using the DCL editor, macro
     recorder, dialog editor, and debugger.

  *  Network Support: Access and manipulate network resources. This
     option installs network drivers.

  *  MultiSet Support: Convert MultiSet scripts to DCL scripts.

When you have finished selecting the desired functionality, choose
Continue to return to the Custom Options dialog box. Then choose
Continue to proceed with the installation.


7.0 Step 5:  Monitor the Copying and Decompression of Files
-----------------------------------------------------------

During this step, Setup copies and decompresses the required files to
the destination directory. A dialog box displays and details the copy
process. You may stop the installation process at any time while the
dialog box is displayed.

Insert additional diskettes when prompted by the Setup program.

Note:  Please do not remove a diskette from the floppy drive until
prompted to do so by the Setup program.


8.0 Step 6:  Configure the Modules
----------------------------------

When all required files have been copied and decompressed, you are
presented with a configuration dialog box for each NetTools module
you are installing.

8.1 Configuring Applications Manager
------------------------------------
The Applications Manager Configuration Options dialog box lets you
specify whether to:

  *  Set up Applications Manager to run as the Program Manager shell
     on your (the installer's) workstation. For information on how to
     set up Applications Manager as the Windows shell for individual
     users, see "Fine-tuning the Applications Manager Configuration."
     (This item is grayed if Applications Manager is already set up as
     the shell.)

  *  Create a program group and items for Applications Manager
     applications. (This item is grayed if the file PERMENU.INI already
     exists in the Windows directory.)

  *  Import Program Manager groups into Applications Manager. For
     further information, see the Applications Manager online help.
     (This item is grayed if the file PERMENU.INI already exists in
     the Windows directory.)

When you have selected the desired configuration options, choose
Configure to proceed with the installation.

8.2 Configuring Print Manager
-----------------------------
The Print Manager Configuration Options dialog box lets you specify
whether to create a program group and items for Print Manager applications.

Choose Configure to proceed with the installation.

8.3 Configuring Desktop Control Language
----------------------------------------
When the DCL Configuration Options dialog box is displayed, choose
Configure to proceed with the installation.

8.4 Finishing Up
----------------
When all required files have been installed and you have configured the
installed modules, the Setup Complete dialog box displays.

To simply exit the Setup program, choose Exit.

To see the Release Notes, choose the Release Notes button.

If you have installed more than one module, the Read Release Notes
dialog box is displayed. Select a module; the release notes for that
module are displayed. When you finish reading the release notes you
will return to the Read Release Notes dialog box, where you can choose
the release notes for another module.

When you have finished reading the Release Notes, choose Exit.

8.5 Log File
------------
The Setup program creates a log file, called SETUPM.LOG in the NETTOOLS
directory. The log file contains information about the installation
process, including which files were copied and any files that could not
be copied.


9.0 Granting Rights to the NETTOOLS Directory
---------------------------------------------

After installing NetTools, you must grant users and administrators rights
to the NETTOOLS directory. Use a network utility, such as Novell SYSCON,
to do this.

9.1 Rights to be granted
------------------------
Default Directory          User    Administrator
SERVER\VOL:
NETTOOLS                   [RF]    [RWFCEM]
NETTOOLS\SYSTEM            [RF]    [RWFCEM]
NETTOOLS\EXAMPLES          [RF]    [RWFCEM]
NETTOOLS\WWPRINT           [RF]    [RWFCEM]
NETTOOLS\WWPRINT\DB        [RWCF]  [RWFCEM]
NETTOOLS\WWPRINT\HELP      [RF]    [RWFCEM]
NETTOOLS\WWPRINT\WININI    [RF]    [RWFCEM]
NETTOOLS\WWPRINT\DRIVERS   [RF]    [RWFCEM]

Note:  Do not flag individual files in the NETTOOLS directory. Set
permissions only at the directory level.

Remember to substitute the NetWare server name and volume name for
your particular installation.


10.0 Fine-tuning the Applications Manager Configuration
-------------------------------------------------------

Once you have installed Applications Manager, you need to configure
the software for users and administrators in your network environment.
This section describes the configuration tasks.

Note:  Before proceeding with the configuration process, we suggest
that you become familiar with Applications Manager by running the
program and browsing through the Applications Manager online help.

10.1 Setting Up Administrators
------------------------------
You must set up any additional users who will use the Desktop
Administration program. Applications Manager allows the administrator
to create and change network groups and items only while in
Administration mode.  Add the following section to the WIN.INI file
for each user who will be using Administration mode:

    [WWAdmin]
    Secure Station Tools=ADMEXT.DLL
    Applications Manager=ADMAMAN.DLL

10.2 Setting Workstation Configuration Defaults
-----------------------------------------------
The default values presented to a user who is configuring workstation
software are contained in the APPMAN.STF file. You can change these
default values by editing the Configuration Options section of the file:

    [Configuration Options]
    Update Shell=Yes
    Import Progman=Yes
    Program Items=Yes

These parameters provide the default values for whether to:

  *  Set up Applications Manager to run as the Windows shell.

  *  Import Program Manager groups into Applications Manager.

  *  Create a program group and items.

10.3 Setting Up Users Automatically
-----------------------------------
When you configure a userÆs workstation in a Windows environment, the
Shell setting in the [Boot] section of the SYSTEM.INI file must be updated
to shell=appman.exe if you want Applications Manager to be the Windows
shell. This change does not take effect until the user restarts Windows.
If you configure workstations in DOS before starting Windows, the .INI
file change takes effect without the user having to restart Windows.

The DOS configuration is performed by the program APPSHELL.EXE. It
performs the same configuration tasks as the Windows configuration
software for Applications Manager. It sets up Applications Manager as
the Windows shell; it creates a NetTools program group; and it imports
Program Manager groups into Applications Manager. It also copies
necessary system support files into the user's WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

The advantage of using APPSHELL is that it performs the configuration
tasks transparently and automatically. It requires no effort on the part
of the user and a minimal investment of time on the part of the
administrator.

The best place for APPSHELL.EXE is in the system login script. When the
user logs onto the network, APPSHELL is executed and configures
Applications Manager for the user. APPSHELLÆs position in the script
should be after the statement that maps a search drive to the NETTOOLS
directory. If the system login script maps a search drive to a network
installation of Windows, APPSHELL must come after that. The Windows
directory (whether local or networked) must be on the user's path.

APPSHELL must be run with a '/q' (for quiet) switch. The command should be:
    appshell /q

(The /q requirement prevents curious users who double-click on APPSHELL
from configuring their workstations by accident.)

APPSHELL can remain in the system login script indefinitely. If APPSHELL
is invoked from the login script and has already configured Applications
Manager for the userÆs workstation, the program terminates.

Note 1: If a SYSTEM subdirectory is not in the user's Windows directory,
this is probably a network installation of Windows. You should update
the SYSTEM.INI file manually.

Note 2: APPSHELL must be located in the directory where Setup installs it,
because it needs other files from that directory.

10.4 Using Startup Groups
-------------------------
If you have created a startup group for your users, the programs or
scripts contained in that group will execute automatically each time a
user starts up Applications Manager (if Applications Manager is running
as the users' Windows shell).  The default startup group that is shipped
with Applications Manager loads as icons the Secure Station Tools
applications.  (The startup group is equivalent to the load= and run=
lines in the WIN.INI file).

Applications Manager allows the administrator to create one network
startup group. In addition, each user may have one personal startup group.

The administrator creates a network startup group by naming a network
group STARTUP.APP.  The programs and scripts in STARTUP.APP execute
after Applications Manager loads.  After execution, STARTUP.APP closes,
hiding the network startup group from all users.  When the administrator
toggles Applications Manager into Administration mode, however, the
startup group loads and displays for editing.  Network startup groups
support subgroups and the rights features of Desktop Administration.

Network startup groups and their paths are specified in the NETMENU.INI
file.  The NETMENU.INI, which all users share, is updated as the
administrator creates or deletes network program groups.

Note 1:  The load= and run= lines in the WIN.INI file are still executed
when there is a startup group.  If an application is referenced in these
lines and also in the startup group, Applications Manager will attempt to
launch it twice.

Note 2: The Administrator should not convert his or her Program Manager
startup group (STARTUP.GRP). If converted, this group becomes the
STARTUP.APP group.

10.5 Securing DOS Applications
------------------------------
A terminate-and-stay resident program (TSR) called WWTSR.EXE is included
with the Secure Station Tools program files.  In 386 Enhanced mode, this
program enables Secure Station to support DOS applications just as it
supports Windows applications (excluding mouse activity).  WWTSR must
execute before Windows is launched.  You may want to consider centrally
launching this TSR from a batch file specified in the login script.
(In Standard mode, Secure Station does not monitor DOS applications
since they are effectively "asleep" when Windows is in use.)

In addition, the TEMP variable must be set and pointing to an existing
directory in order for WWTSR.EXE to communicate properly with Secure
Station.


11.0 Fine-tuning the Print Manager Configuration
------------------------------------------------

Once you have installed Print Manager, you need to configure the
software for users and administrators in your network environment.
This section describes the configuration tasks.

11.1 Setting Workstation Configuration Defaults
-----------------------------------------------
The default values presented to a user who is configuring workstation
software are contained in the PRINTMAN.STF file. You can change these
default values by editing the Configuration Options section of the file:
    [Configuration Options]
    Program Items=Yes

This parameters provide the default value for whether to create a
program group and items for Print Manager applications.


12.0 Rerunning the Setup Program
--------------------------------

After installing and configuring NetTools (or single modules), users
may rerun the Setup program for various reasons, among them:
  *  To install modules on a workstation.
  *  To select additional configuration options.

12.1 Installing NetTools Modules on a Workstation
-------------------------------------------------
To install NetTools modules on a workstation:
  *  Start the NetTools Setup program residing on a network drive
     as described in the next section, "Starting Setup from a Network
     Drive."

  *  Follow steps 3 to 7 in this manual.

Note: The Administrator can control which users are allowed to install
workstations. The NETTOOLS directory contains a file called SETUPM.INI.
A user can install NetTools on a local disk or laptop only if he or she
has Scan access to the SETUPM.INI file. Users who do not have Scan rights
to this file can only configure software.

12.2 Starting Setup from a Network Drive
----------------------------------------
A common reason for running Setup from a network drive is to install
or configure NetTools for a workstation.

If you start Setup from a network drive (instead of floppy disks) the
Setup Activity dialog box is displayed. Use this dialog box to indicate
whether you are performing an installation or configuring modules that
have already been installed.

If you choose Install from the Setup Activity dialog box, the installation
process described in Steps 3 to 7 in this manual begins.

If you choose Configure, the Configure Module dialog box is displayed.
Use this dialog box to select the module you want to configure. Then
configure the module as described in Step 7.

12.3 Configuring a Workstation in Quiet Mode
--------------------------------------------
When users configure a workstation in Quiet mode, the Setup program
configures the NetTools modules, using default values. The user does
not see the configuration screens. To run the Setup program in Quiet
mode, enter a '/q' switch with the Setup command. For example,
    setupm /q

You should set the default values as described under "Setting Workstation
Configuration Defaults" in the sections "Fine-tuning the Applications
Manager Configuration" and "Fine-tuning the Print Manager Configuration."
