- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1. What is Network Suite (ENS)?
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- EmTec Network Suite is a set of tools for improving access to the
- Internet from your OS/2 desktop. It offers a full featured news
- reader, FTP and Gopher clients. This suite of programs was known
- under the name Neologic Network Suite before 1997.
-
- All applications support Ethernet or SLIP/PPP serial connections.
-
- Prior versions of the Network Suite sold under the NeoLogic name
- contained an FTP server licensed from Hethmon Brothers software.
- For information on support and upgrades for the FTP server
- component which is no longer included in the suite contact Paul
- Hethmon at phethmon@hethmon.com or www.hethmon.com).
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2. Installation
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Unzip the file to a floppy or a temporary directory. Then change to that
- drive:\directory. Run INSTALL to set up the applications you want.
-
- You can create a 2 floppy installation by copying image2.dsk to disk 2.
- Then copy everything else from the archive to disk 1.
-
- The EmTec Network Suite can be installed over earlier versions and will
- preserve your settings. However, you might try to install it into a
- fresh directory (in which case you need to remove all reference to your
- existing version from the CONFIG.SYS), to see the new color scheme.
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 3. Ordering
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The EmTec Network Suite is distributed exclusively by BMT Micro in the
- U.S. When you are connected to the internet you can order through the
- Online-Order application (PURCHASE.EXE), which will encrypt and transfer
- your order directly to BMT Micro. Alternately you can fill out and
- print the order form text (ORDER.FRM) and mail or fax it to BMT.

-
-
- 1) Install aborts with a message that a DLL cannot be accessed or
- overwritten.
-
- Please close all programs from earlier versions of the Network
- Suite before starting the installation.
-
-
- 2) Applications crash when attempting to start
-
- If you installed this version and still have an older version on your
- system either remove it or remove the old version's directory from the
- LIBPATH. In general, make sure that there is only one copy of EMTEC.DLL
- on your system and it resides in the new installation's DLL directory.
-
-
- 3) Applications start but are not registered.
-

-
- Make sure that the username and password fields in the configuration
- notebook are blank. If they contain information, remove this data
- and restart News.
