Introduction
============
This file describes the contents of the End User's disk, and explains how to
install and use the programs on the disk. These programs are essential to
the operation of applications written with the PC-NFS Programmer's Toolkit
version 4.0.
The files on this disk are updated versions of several essential system
files that ship with PC-NFS version 4.0. These new versions correct
several known problems with the operation of certain PC-NFS utilities.
End users who receive this disk with a third-party PC-NFS application must
install the files on this disk. These files will replace existing PC-NFS
4.0 files.
Users who have already upgraded to PC-NFS 4.0a do not need these files.
Table of Contents

1 - List of included files
2 - Installing the files using UPDATE.EXE
3 - Checking version numbers to verify installation
4 - Using the files on this disk
1) List of Included Files
======================
This disk contains the following files:
READ1ST.TXT No version # This file
RTM.EXE Version 4.0a Resident transport module
RNMFILE.EXE Version 4.0a Resident name-service module
RNMNIS.EXE Version 4.0a Resident name-service module
RNMFILE.DLL Version 4.0a Resident name-service DLL
RNMNIS.DLL Version 4.0a Resident name-service DLL
RTMREM.EXE Version 4.0a Resident module unloader
RNMREM.EXE Version 4.0a Resident module unloader
TKLIB.DLL Version 4.0a Toolkit API library DLL
DNET.DLL No version # PC-NFS API library DLL
NETCONF Version 4.0a Transport identifier file
UPDATE.EXE No version # Installation program
2) Installation Using UPDATE.EXE
=============================
To install the files on this disk, place the disk into a floppy disk
drive such as drive A:. Type
a:
to make this drive the active drive. Next, type
update
Then, answer the on-screen prompts.
The Update program will search the NFSPATH, NFSDRIVE:\nfs (PC-NFS 3.5 only),
and PATH directories. If it finds an older version of the files
RTM.EXE, RNMNIS.EXE, RNMNIS.DLL, RNMFILE.EXE, RNMFILE.DLL, NETCONF,
DNET.DLL, and TKLIB.DLL, it will offer you the option of replacing those
files in each directory where it finds such a file. If you want to
save copies of the older versions of these files, answer "n" to the
prompt that asks whether you want to upgrade the file.
The Update program will find every location where one of these
files is stored and give you the option to replace that file.
If you want to keep an older version of a file in one directory and the
new version in another directory, answer "n" to one of the prompts
that asks to replace a file.
Whether you elect to replace all the files, some of the files, or none
of the files, Update will exit to MS-DOS when it is finished. You can
elect to manually install the files from the End User's disk by copying
them to an appropriate directory.
If Update finds none of the End User's disk files in any of the
directories it searches, it will copy the files into every directory
specified by NFSPATH. This copy operation could result in the consumption
of substantial disk space if NFSPATH contains a number of entries.
Having copies of different versions of the same Toolkit module on your disk
could lead to application execution errors unless you carefully assign
directory search paths.
Checking Version Numbers
========================
You can verify a successful installation of the files on this disk by
changing the directory path to the directory where the files were installed.
For example, type
c:\nfs
to change the active path to drive C and directory \nfs. Next, type
rtm -v
If your installation of this disk was successful, your screen will display:
RTM.EXE version 4.0a
If the screen displays
RTM.EXE version 3.0
you either chose to preserve the earlier version of the RTM.EXE file during
the Upgrade program's operation, or the installation of the files on this
disk was unsuccessful.
If you think that the Upgrade program did not successfully install the
files on this disk, run the program again. Answer all the on-screen
prompts carefully.
Using the Files
===============
Unless otherwise specified by a third-party application's instructions,
the only file on this disk that PC-NFS users load directly is the resident
transport module, RTM.EXE. If you use PC-NFS version 4.0, refer to the
PC-NFS Reference Manual's chapter on PC-NFS commands, and the chapter on
using Microsoft Windows for information about using this module.
Your third-party application manual may also contain information about the
use of RTM.EXE.
If you use PC-NFS and Microsoft Windows, you must load RTM.EXE
before you run Windows. To load the RTM, type
rtm
from the MS-DOS command line. Or, place the the line
rtm
into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to load the RTM automatically on system
start-up.
