- Lansmart 2.10 Release Notes 23 October 1990
- ============================================
-
- Lansmart 2.10 features a few enhancements over ver 2.02,
- namely support of:
-
- * Microsoft Windows 3
-
- * User-customised applications that take control of the PC
- host's process termination
-
- * Applications that take i/o on local devices only
-
- WINDOWS SUPPORT
- ----------------
- The /WIN:ON parameter has been added to the LOGON command. This
- parameter adjusts the use of extended memory for co-existence
- with Windows. If you use your extended memory for both LANsmart
- and Windows, execute the LOGON command with /WIN:ON to avoid
- conflicts in the use of memory. Note that, n this case, slightly
- more conventional memory will be used for LANsmart than
- originally intended.
-
- PRINT QUEUE PATH
- ----------------
- The /PNQ:<path> is added to the LOGON command to set the path
- (disk/directory) for the print queue where print files are
- temporarily kept. You may take advantage of this parameter to
- keep print files in a RAM disk for faster printing i/o. If no
- path is specified, the disk/directory where all LANsmart programs
- are kept will be used.
-
- USING SHARED PRINTERS WITH SPECIAL USER-CUSTOMISED APPLICATIONS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- A new parameter is added to the NETPRINT command to allow user to
- pass control of printing on a shared printer to the application
- program:
-
- NETPRINT /BRK:OFF
-
- An end-of-file indicator indicates that a print file is closed
- and printing of the file will start.
-
- This parameter sends end-of-file indicators to shared printers
- ONLY in the following situations:
-
- o At timeout (set by parameter NETPRINT /EOF:n)
- o When the hot key (Ctrl-Alt-PrtSc) is pressed
-
- This leaves it up to the application to send end-of-file
- indicators in all other situations. Print files therefore will
- not be automatically printed when the application exits to DOS,
- as in the normal case.
-
- The command NETPRINT /BRK will display the current setting this
- parameter (NETPRINT /BRK:ON or NETPRINT /BRK:OFF)
