- Trumpet for Windows Distribution 1.0 Rev A
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Trumpet for Windows is distributed from
-
- ftp.utas.edu.au:/pc/trumpet/wintrump/*
-
-
- A) Retrieving WinTrumpet:
-
- The files that you need for specific versions are listed below:
-
- File: wtabi???.zip WT_ABI - uses the Trumpet TSR TCP stack
-
- 00readme.tcp
- ntcpdrv.exe
- wtcpdrv.dll
- wt_abi.exe
- wintrump.hlp
- wtdoc.doc
-
- file: wtpkt???.zip WT_PKT - direct to packet driver (internal TCP stack)
-
- winpkt.com
- wt_pkt.exe
- wintrump.hlp
- wtdoc.doc
-
- file: wtlwp???.zip WT_LWP - requires Novell LWP DOS/Windows
-
- wt_lwp.exe
- wintrump.hlp
- wtdoc.doc
-
- file: wtwsk???.zip WT_WSK - requires a Windows Sockets v1.1 compliant TCP transport
-
- wt_wsk.exe
- wintrump.hlp
- wtdoc.doc
-
-
- B) Before installing WinTrumpet:
-
- Please read wtdoc.doc before installing. The packet driver
- version requires "winpkt.com". A patched version of winpkt.com is
- provided which fixes a bug with large packets not being received.
-
- C) Special WinSOCK notes:
-
- WT_WSK is Windows Sockets 1.1 compliant. If you use FTP Software
- PC/TCP, you *must* use the latest version of their Winsock 1.1
- DLL. This is available via anonymous FTP to VAX.FTP.COM
-
- If you use SuperTCP, you must also obtain the latest version of
- their WinSOCK.DLL which is available from BBS.FRONTIERTECH.COM,
- once you have established an account on that system.
-
- You can also try the Trumpet Winsock which is distributed from
-
- ftp.utas.edu.au:/pc/trumpet/winsock/*
-
- D) I ran into a bug, what should I do?
-
- Send all bug reports to "peter@psychnet.psychol.utas.edu.au". Please
- report the exact circumstance of the bug. For the WinSock version,
- include information on which vendors stack and WinSock.DLL you are
- using.
-
- E) Common problems and their solutions:
-
- 1. A common problem is that batching of the XHDR commands doesn't
- work with some NNTP servers. Symptom is that wintrump hangs when
- scanning the newsgroup. Fix is to add the command line
- option -nobatch.
-
- 2. When running under Netware, wintrump will attempt to use the
- maildir and the setup parameters will be read-only. This is a
- security feature and can be disabled by the use of the -disable_nw
- command line option. Wintrump then reverts to a stand-alone setup.
-
- 3. MTU packets of 1500 bytes not receivable with standard winpkt.
- Fix is to use the version distributed with wintrump.
-
- 4. XHDR is not implemented on some news servers. Symptom is that
- wintrump gives an error "500 Command not implemented"
- or something similar. Fix is to get the NNTP server fixed - it will
- help other news readers to function more efficiently.
-
-
- F) Problems with WT_PKT.EXE
-
- Wt_pkt may or may not work with your windows configuration. To aid in
- debugging, if you have a problem, please send news.prm, news.ini and
- a debug listing from wintrump if possible to Peter Tattam.
-
-
-
- Debug listings can be generated in the following manner. Add the
- following options to the command line.
-
- -debug=eairut -dbfile=test.dbg
-
- the debug flags are e - ethernet headers
- a - ARP packets
- i - IP packets
- r - RARP packets
- u - UDP packets
- t - TCP packets
-
- the option -dbfile=... may be left out, in which case a debug
- listing will appear in a separate window.
-
- Also, if one fails to get anything from that, the -dbfile can be
- set to the AUX, COM1, LPT1.DOS etc.
-
- G) Anything else?
-
- ftp.utas.edu.au is at Hobart in Tasmania, Australia and only has a slow link
- to the outside world. Please try to FTP files outside of our normal hours.
- (8.00 am-6.00pm), our time zone is EAST (10 hours ahead of GMT)
-
-
- Enjoy!!!!
