- Hiya Guys and Gals,
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Installing this baby should be painless. You will need to give it your
- highest node number, like this for a 5 node system:
-
- SMIXER!.COM N5
-
- NOTE: this is the highest node number, NOT the number of nodes. A board with
- nodes 1, 2, 3, and 5 would still use N5.
-
- SabreMixer! will detect NetBIOS and IPX, choosing IPX over NetBIOS. You can
- force NetBIOS or IPX on the command line with E or I respectively.
- SabreMixer! will not check to see if the network in question is installed when
- forced (so this is also useful if SabreMixer! is having problems finding your
- network).
-
- Also note that SabreMixer! has to be loaded BEFORE the multitasker but AFTER
- the network. I plan on having it scream if it finds DV in memory when
- installing to prevent this lil episode.
-
- Run-Time
- --------
-
- From then on, SabreChat! should find the mixer in memory when it runs. You
- can check this by hitting F4 when in SChat!. You should see <MXR!> on the
- Options line. Do NOT tell Schat! to use the network! Let it find the Mixer
- find it all by itself.
-
- Removing SabreMixer!
- --------------------
-
- You can remove SabreMixer! from memory by using U on the command line. Make
- sure, however, that no other node on that computer is going to need it (as in
- DESQview setup).
-
- Problems
- --------
-
- Once operating, a few problems can occur. The most annoying being that you
- may start missing characters every once and a while if you have lots of nodes
- and one of them is on the server. If this happens alot, then please tell me.
- I'd like to find some way to prevent this from happening. The next version of
- SabreMixer! will have the double-checking feature that SabreChat! has to help
- cut down on some of this. If you receive lots of garbage or SabreChat! seems
- to take off on it's own, then check your N? parameter on SMIXER!.COM and make
- sure it's not less than your current node number. If not, then try using the
- B? option to make a bigger buffer. It defaults to B80, but if you are having
- lots of garbage when someone types real quick, try moving it up to B256 or
- higher. If this doesn't fix it then we must have a coding bug (what!??!
- neeever). Try to get a hold of me or netmail me and I'll see what I can do.
-
- Afterwards
- ----------
-
- That's all for now... If this is difficult to understand then drop me a
- netmail and I'll try to help you out, or if you have already figured it out,
- at least I'll know what to fix in the doc so that people can understand. This
- is true about any of the doc's or screen's. Thanks Guys and Gals.
