DDEVICES
 Enter the name of a physical device driver loaded on this
 CD Server to be shared onto the network by CD Share.
 For example you may have a line in your config.sys similar
 to the following :
 DEVICE = HITACHIA.SYS /D:CDROMS1  /N:3
 Name of device driver
 Number of Drives
  attached to
  controller.
 DEVICE = HITACHIA.SYS /D:CDROMS2 /N:2
 Name of another driver
 The total for this server would be two device drivers with
 a total of 3+2 = 5 drives. Only those drives controlled by
 device drivers listed in the shared devices table  will be
 be made available to the network.
Press Enter
taSERVER
 This is a table of device  drivers on the server that are to
 be shared onto the network. These device drivers are usually
 loaded in the  config.sys  file on  the server, each  device
 driver may be controlling a number of CDROM drives.
 Press Enter  with an  entry  highlighted to alter it, Del to
 remove it from the table, or Ins to add an extra entry.

WORKSTN
 This is a table of default CDROM drives for the CD Workstation's
 logical drives to be attached to.
 Note that if more entries than MAXIMUM  REDIRECTED  DRIVES  are
 specified then only MAXIMUM REDIRECTED DRIVES will be attached.
 Logical drive connections may be altered in batch files or from
 the command line at later stages using CDManager.
Press Esc to quit or ENTER for more help
DRIVES
 On this form you list the details of  ONE of your  default redirected
 CDROM drives.
 SERVER NAME
:Name of CD Server with required CDROM.
 DEVICE NAME  (On SERVER NAME) :Name of DEVICE DRIVER to attach to on
  CD Server
 DRIVE NUMBER (On DEVICE NAME) :Drive number (0,1,2,etc) on DEVICE NAME
  to attach to.
 For example if CDSERVER, CDROMS1, and 0 were entered then this logical
 drive would attach to drive 0 on the device driver CDROMS1 on CD-Server
 named CDSERVER.

MAIN HELP SCREEN
 The CD-SHARE installation program allows you to set up a
 computer as a CD Server(either dedicated or non-dedicated),
 or as a CD Workstation only. A non-dedicated server MUST
 also be set up as a CD workstation to access any local
 CDROM device drivers that are shared onto the network via
 the CD Share server.
 The installation program copies all of the CDSHARE to the
 specified installation directory, then creates a startup
 batch file which will setup CD-Share on the PC according to
 the server and workstation parameters entered. If the PC
 is to be a CD Share workstation then a "device=CDWORK.SYS"
 line is also appended to the CONFIG.SYS file. The default
 name of the batch file is "STARTCD.BAT", this batch file
 should be called after installation to start CD Share on
 the PC.
 If a CD Server is not dedicated and drives are specified in
 the workstation drive list then the batch file will set up
 the node as a non-dedicated CD Server/Workstation.

uMAIN3
 Use the left and right arrow keys to  select installation for
 either a Workstation or a server, then set  the name  of  the
 installation  directory  and the  startup  batch file. If you
 aren't running INSTALL from the same directory as the CDSHARE
 files then you will also have to set the  source path to copy
 CDSHARE files from. Once you have pressed Enter on the "COPY
 INSTALL FILES FROM" field you enter the  configuration  menu.
 To get from the menu back to the GLOBAL settings press Esc.
Press Enter for more help
 Use the first two menu items to set  server and  workstation
 parameters then select 'Install' to perform the installation.
 Select 'Quit' to exit back to DOS, or press Esc to alter the
 GLOBAL settings.

     This screen allows you to set parameters for a CD Server.
 SERVER NAME
: Name of server used by workstations to attach
to server CDROM devices. This name must be unique
for each CD Server and Workstation.
 MAXIMUM USERS
: Maximum simultaneous users logged into server
 MAXIMUM TASKS
: Maximum simultaneous network requests serviced
 BUFFER SIZE
: Size of network buffer (in 2K Sectors) per task.
 DEDICATE SERVER
: YES runs the server in dedicated mode for maximum
performance Note: CACHE always used when dedicated
 RUN CACHE
: YES indicates that you wish to use CD-CACHE
 CACHE TYPE
: TYPE of memory to use for CACHE. DO NOT use EXT if
: HIMEM.SYS or an expanded memory manager is loaded.
 CACHE SIZE
: Amount of memory in K bytes to use for cache.
 CACHE BLOCK SIZE
: Size of cache management buffers in sectors. This
should always be a multiple of BUFFER SIZE for
maximum performance.
 SHARED DEVICES
: Table of names of local CDROM device drivers ON
THE SERVER to be shared onto the network.
 Continue
: Accepts new server settings and returns to main
menu.

 These parameters customize the setup for a CD-Share workstation.
 WORKSTATION NAME
:Unique Netbios session name for this
workstation session.
 WORKSTATION DEVICE NAME
:The networked CDROM's will appear as
drives on a  CDROM  device driver by
this name. e.g. MSCD
, MSCD001
 MAXIMUM REDIRECTED DRIVES :This is the maximum number of network
CDROM drives that may  SIMULTANEOUSLY
be  connected  to the  workstation at
any one time. Note that CDManager may
used to alter drive connections to
CD Servers, so one drive is usually
sufficient. Also MSCDEX uses approx
4K of extra memory for each drive.
 INSTALL MSCDEX
:If YES then a line will be entered in
the startcd.bat file to run MSCDEX.
 STARTING DRIVE LETTER
:If INSTALL MSCDEX is YES this tells
MSCDEX what it's starting drive letter
is to be.
 REDIRECTED DRIVE LIST
:A list of initial rdirected drives.
