-
- We hope that you have an enjoyable experience with Remotely Possible/32.
- Please review the contents of this readme.txt file prior to
- installation, particularly the LIMITATIONS section.
-
- Windows 95 and 32-bit applications require large amounts of memory.
- If your system has limited memory resources (such as a small amount of
- hard drive space for the swap file), Remotely Possible and other
- programs may exhibit abnormal behavior. We recommend maintaining at
- least 30 megabytes of free disk space that Windows may use for its
- swap file.
-
- Remotely Possible/32 no longer makes use of the system.ini file.
- Instead we update the Registry to load RP32.VXD and VIDEO32.DLL when
- Host Mode is enabled.
-
- Remotely Possible cannot always function correctly when Windows 95 is
- running in safe mode. Please restart Windows 95 in normal mode
- before running Remotely Possible.
-
-
- III. INSTALL
-
- Install
- ~~~~~~~
- During the installation process, Remotely Possible will determine
- disk space requirements and the operating system. Remotely Possible
- install checks for at least 3MB of disk space and that you are
- running Windows 95. If either of these checks fail you will be
- unable to install Remotely Possible.
-
- Remotely Possible/32 installation defaults to the standard
- application install path for Windows 95.
- x:\Program Files\Avalan\Remotely Possible. This path is user
- selectable but the default is recommended.
-
- During the installation of Remotely Possible, the install program will
- check for existing and loaded versions of RP32.VXD and Video32.dll.
- If these files are loaded from a previous version of
- Remotely Possible/32, your system may have to be restarted at the
- end of the install. You will receive a notice at the end of the
- installation if applicable.
-
- DeInstall
- ~~~~~~~~~
- You may now deinstall the product by running the REMOVE.BAT script
- from your installation disk. To deinstall the product, insert your
- Remotely Possible/32 disk into drive A:, from the Start Menu select
- Run, on the Open line type the following A:\REMOVE.BAT
-
- IV. LIMITATIONS
-
- Limitations

- Therefore it is recommended that you avoid running these desktop
- themes on any Host PC.

-
- V. CONFIGURATION TIPS
-
- Microsoft Word Performance
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- When Microsoft Word is set to View - Page Layout, you may experience
- a delay during a Dial connection when typing. To increase the
- performance in this area use the following guidelines:
- - Select View - Normal
- - Begin typing until you see an increase in performance
- - Select View - Page Layout
- - Typing should resume at the previous speed
-
-
- Remote Control
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- To configure RP32 as a Host, select the Change Settings icon from
- within RP32, then the Host tab, then check the box to enable host
- operation. This change will cause your pc to reboot before taking
- effect.
-
- It is recommended that the following User Preferences be set:
- HOST
- Hide Remotely Possible
- Disable Wallpaper
-
- TCP/IP
- Data Compression (When using SLIP or PPP)
-
- User Preferences
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- When connecting as a Host the Host options are used for the connection,
- when connecting as a Viewer the viewer options are used for the connection.
- However, the Host preferences take precedence over Viewer options should
- the two differ.
-
- Note: If you start Chat or File transfer the viewer options are used.
- This design is used to be compatible with the 16 bit version of
- Remotely Possible. In Remotely Possible16 bit the remote control
- options are negotiated at the beginning of the connection. Not when
- the viewer or host is started.
-

- Remotely Possible/Sockets version 2.0 provides enhanced features when
- connecting to a PC running Remotely Possible/32. Therefore, it is
