Before installing AppleShare Client for Windows, you should
determine whether you are using supported Ethernet network
adapter hardware. If your network adapter is not in the
following list, you may still be able to use AppleShare
Client for Windows. For more information, see the section
"Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and Unsupported Network Adapters"
or "Windows 3.1 and 3.11 and Unsupported Network Adapters,"
as appropriate for your version of Windows.

Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and unsupported network adapters
------------------------------------------------------------

If you are using Windows for Workgroups 3.11, use your Windows
for Workgroups installation disks to install your network
adapter. Once the network adapter is working in Windows, you
can install the AppleShare Client for Windows software using
the normal installation procedures.

Windows 3.1 and 3.11 and unsupported network adapters
-----------------------------------------------------


If you are using Windows 3.11 or Windows 3.1 without Windows
networking software, and you have an a vendor-supplied ODI
driver for your unsupported network adapter, you may be able
to use the procedures in this section to install AppleShare
Client for Windows.

WARNING: Installing your system for networking requires that
you manually install the network adapter driver and edit your
driver configuration file and your DOS startup batch files.
Performing these procedures incorrectly can cause your
computer to fail.

Before performing the following procedures, you should
locate the software and documentation that came with your
network adapter. As you perform the procedures, you will
need information from the documentation.

1. If your network adapter is not already installed,
   install and test it, following the instructions in your
   network adapter documentation.

2. Restart your computer and run Windows.

3. Run the INSTALL.EXE program on the AppleShare Client for
   Windows Disk 1.

4. In the Installation Options dialog box, choose the
   Standard Installation option and click Continue.

   The Select Adapter dialog box appears.

5. Select the line at the end of the adapter list that
   reads "[Other]  Unlisted Adapter Option," and click OK.

   The Network Adapter Settings dialog box appears.

6  Enter the configuration settings for your network adapter. 

   If possible, select values that match the adapter
   configuration settings you used in completing step 1
   above. If no matching settings are displayed, simply
   continue with step 7. If you are already running
   ODI-based networking software, AppleShare Client for
   Windows Installer will use your existing network adapter
   configuration settings.

7. Complete the AppleShare Client for Windows installation.

8. Exit Windows and estart your computer as instructed by
   the Installer.

   If your computer was not already running ODI-based
   networking software, continue with step 11.

9. If your computer was already running ODI-based networking
   software using your network adapter card, edit the file
   ATDRIVER.BAT (in the C:\APPLE\A_SHARE directory by default).
   Remove the word "REM" from the beginning of the last line
   so that it reads "C:\APPLE\A_SHARE\ODI.EXE".

10. Restart your computer.

    AppleShare Client for Windows is completely installed
    and should run when you start Windows. Skip the rest of
    this procedure.

11. Use DOS to copy the ODI driver and any supporting files
    for your network adapter to your AppleShare Client for
    Windows directory. The default directory path is
    C:\APPLE\A_SHARE.

12. Edit the NET.CFG file in the C:\APPLE\A_SHARE directory.

    First, replace all strings of four consecutive X
    characters (that is, XXXX) with the file name of your
    driver, excluding the .COM extension for the file. 

    Next, change any parameters that do not match your
    adapter configuration settings. Check the values for
    the following parameters:

    - the interrupt request level, a one- or two-digit number
      preceded by INT #1 

    - the I/O port number, a 3-digit value such as 300,
      preceded by PORT #1

    - the direct memory access channel, a value of 1 or 2
      preceded by DMA

    - the memory access address, a data address value such
      as D8000, preceded by MEM

    You should consult your network adapter card docu-
    mentation to determine if other parameters are required
    for your system.

    Finally, save the NET.CFG file.

13. Edit the file ATDRIVER.BAT (in the C:\APPLE\A_SHARE
    directory by default). First, remove the word "REM"
    from the beginning of every line. Next, replace the
    string "XXXX" in the second line of the file with the
    filename of your network adapter driver. Be sure to
    include the filename extension.

14. Save the ATDRIVER.BAT file.

15. Restart your computer by turning it off.and on.

    AppleShare Client for Windows is completely installed
    and should run when you start Windows.

    If you experience any problems after completing these
    instructions, see the file C:\APPLE\A_SHARE\PROBLEMS.WRI.


Changing the location of print spool files
==========================================
You may want to change the location of the spool files
used by the AppleShare Client to store PostScript print
jobs until they can be sent to the networked LaserWriter
printer. For example, you may want to store these files
in their own directory or on a disk with more free space.
Do not change the spool file location to a floppy disk or
to a CD-ROM disc. It is recommended that you do not change
the spool file location to a removable cartridge drive or
a network drive unless you are certain that it will be
available at all times.

To change the location of the spool files, you must edit
the [ports] section of the WIN.INI file. There are three
spool files, each on its own line, in the form C:\LWx.PRN=.
Edit each line to change the pathname of the file. Do not
change the filename itself (LWx.PRN). Also be sure to
retain the equal sign (=) at the end of the line. Do not
add a colon before the equal sign; it is a special
identifier only for ports such as LPT1: and COM1:.

Viewing Mac OS-formatted files from Windows and DOS applications
================================================================
AppleShare Client for Windows hides Macintosh files that
contain resource forks to prevent their being damaged by
an incompatible application or operating system. See the
section "Macintosh File Formats" in AppleShare Client Help
for additional information. 

AppleShare Client for Windows can be prevented from
marking these files as hidden, thereby allowing access
to the portions of these files that Windows applications
might be able to use.To prevent hiding these files, add
the following lines to the ASHARE.INI file
(C:\WINDOWS\ASHARE.INI):

[FileRedir]
HIDERESFILES=FALSE

Warning: Changing this value does not change the format
of Macintosh files; you should use these files only with
great care.

Text file differences between Mac OS and Windows
================================================
A Mac OS-formatted text file contains a single character
to indicate the end of a line of text. Windows text
files contain two characters for this purpose. Some
Windows-based text-viewing programs like NOTEPAD and
WRITE require text files to contain the DOS/Windows
two-character ASCII combination (line feed and carriage
return) to indicate the end of a line. Consequently, an
entire text file created on the Macintosh may appear as
a single line of text to such applications.

If a text file that you create under Windows is opened
and then saved (even as a text file) by a Mac OS-based
application, the file will be formatted for the Mac OS.
Many word processing applications can process multiple
file formats. Other low-cost file- and text-translation
utilities are readily available for converting text
files and other types of documents.


Saving the battery charge on your portable computer
===================================================
Most portable computers minimize battery drain by
running the hard disk only when necessary. To provide
timely printing of your files, the AppleShare Client
print spooler checks the disk every five seconds for
pending print jobs. This level of disk activity can
significantly shorten the battery charge time. If your
computer is not printing to a network printer, you may
want to disable the print spooling temporarily.

One easy way to disable the print spooler is to
disconnect all assigned network printers. To discon-
nect printers, click the print services button in the
main AppleShare Client window, select each printer, and
click Disconnect.

Useful network utilities
========================
The PC Exchange utility from Apple computer allows you
to use your Macintosh computer to format floppy disks
for PC computers and to store PC-formatted files on
your floppy disks and SCSI hard drives. PC Exchange can
be purchased at Apple dealers, and it is included for
free in the Mac OS System 7.5.

The PC Net Exchange utility associates a PC icon with
PC files stored on a Macintosh server. If you have
PC Exchange installed, adding PC Net Exchange allows
you to specify document-to-application and document-
to-icon mapping based on the filename extension. PC Net
Exchange can be downloaded for free from the following

Removing the Farallon PhoneNet PC product
=========================================
Farallon PhoneNET PC cannot be used on the same
computer with AppleShare Client for Windows. To avoid
disabling your existing network services, the
AppleShare Client for Windows Installer currently will
not run if PhoneNET PC is already installed. If you
want to replace PhoneNET PC with AppleShare Client for
Windows, you must first remove PhoneNET PC from the
system. At the time this Read Me file was written, no
commonly available utility is known to successfully
remove the entire PhoneNET PC. This section details
how to remove the product so that you can install
AppleShare Client for Windows. (You must perform steps
2 and 5 at a minimum to install AppleShare Client for
Windows succesfully.)

IMPORTANT:  Before you remove any network software,
you should ensure that no important application depend
on that software.

The files that you will change or delete are located
in four directories:
  C:\
  C:\PHONENET
  C:\WINDOWS
  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

To remove the PhoneNET PC product, perform the
following steps:


1. Back up all PhoneNET PC files and all system files
   that contain references to them:

   In the directory C:\
     CONFIG.SYS
     AUTOEXEC.BAT

   In the directory C:\PHONENET
     All files. Especially important are the NET.CFG file
     and the network adapter driver file. You can recognize
     the driver by the .COM extension of its filename. When
     you install AppleShare Client for Windows, you will
     re-install the driver, and you may need to enter the
     settings for your network adapter card that are
     contained in the NET.CFG file.

   In the directory C:\WINDOWS
     SYSTEM.INI
     WIN.INI
     PROGMAN.INI
     DOSAPP.INI
     PHONENET.INI
     PHONENET.GRP
     TIMBUKTU.BMP
     TIMBUKTU.HLP

   In the directory C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
     ADSP.DLL
     PNTPROTO.DLL
     PNTDATA.DLL
     FPRINT.386
     PNTALK.DRV


2.  Delete or "remark out" any command lines in the
    AUTOEXEC.BAT file that reference or call PhoneNET PC
    batch files. For example, if your system is configured
    to start PhoneNET PC when your system boots, your
    AUTOEXEC.BAT probably contains the following command
    line, which must be deleted:

      CALL C:\PHONENET.BAT

    You should delete or remark any command lines
    calling the following batch files and executables:

      AARP.COM
      ABOTH.BAT
      AFILES.BAT
      APRINT.COM
      APRNT.BAT
      ASHARE.COM
      ASP_WS.COM
      ATALK.COM
      EXTEND.BAT
      PNTVDD.EXE


3.  Edit the C:\CONFIG.SYS file.

    In the command line beginning "LASTDRIVE=" set the
    drive letter to P.


4.  Delete the C:\PHONENET directory and all the files
    in it. These files are as follows:

      3C509.COM

      MINSES.EXE
      NET.CFG
      PAP_WS.COM
      PHONENET.BAT
      PHONENET.WRI
      PNSN
      PNTVDD.EXE
      QIAO.DLL
      README.DOC
      REDIR.EXE
      ROUTE.COM
