1. INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
=================================

Diskette Images Available on CD -

For your convenience in making installation diskettes, the PC-NFSpro
2.0 CD \DISKETTE\ directory contains diskette images of this product.

When Installing Over the Network -

Due to a DOS-imposed limitation, a file on an NFS-mounted drive having
a path name longer than 63 characters is not visible in File Manager,
or from DOS using the DIR or LS commands. When installing over the
network from an NFS mounted drive, specify mount points as far down the
path as possible to minimize the number of characters required to
access the lowest file in the path hierarchy.

When Upgrading From PC-NFS 5.x -

LAN adapter configuration (which applies to Windows 3.x, as opposed to
Windows for WorkGroups) does not carry over to PC-NFSpro 2.0. During an
upgrade, the Configuration program opens the LAN Adapter dialog box and
you must reselect your adapter and then reconfigure it. You can examine
your CONFIG.SYS file prior to upgrading to see which LAN adapter driver
is used by your PC, and examine your PROTOCOL.INI file to determine
your LAN adapter's current configuration settings.

When Upgrading From PC-NFSpro 1.x -

If you use Windows 3.1 or Windows for WorkGroups, do not attempt to
remove a previously installed copy of PC-NFSpro. Install over an
existing copy of PC-NFSpro. If a problem occurs during installation
that causes you to abort the installation, a message is displayed that
says installed files must be removed. Ignore this message if you intend
to retry the installation. For example, if you run out of disk space
during an installation, simply make room on your disk and rerun the
PC-NFSpro Setup program.

If You Install With a File in Use -

You must close all open applications and files (including Winsock)
before installing PC-NFSpro. If you do not, you will receive an error
message when the installation program attempts to install a copy of an
open file. When this situation occurs, an "Abort, Retry or Ignore"
dialog box opens. If you see this dialog box, use Alt+Tab to see what
application is running, close the application, and then choose the
"Retry" option to resume installation.

You can choose "Ignore" to use the version of the file already on your
system and proceed with installation. However, this version may not
work properly with PC-NFSpro 2.0. If you discover this to be the case,
re-run Setup and perform a Custom Install, installing the PC-NFSpro 2.0
component containing the file you need.

To Configure a Laptop for Serial and LAN Use -

To configure PC-NFSpro for use on a laptop PC that alternates between
LAN and PPP connections, create two .CFG files, one for PPP use and one
for LAN use. Switch back and forth between these configuration files as
necessary.

DNS Configuration - 

If you configure DNS, enter an IP address only (not a hostname) to
identify the DNS server.
_______________________________________________________________________

2. LICENSING
============

Use PC-NFSpro 2.0 License Manager With Code1/Code2 Pairs -

If you currently use License Manager for license distribution and
administration, you must use the License Manager provided with
PC-NFSpro 2.0 when creating new licenses from a code1/code2 pair.

PLUM Server Version Restriction -

If you currently use a PLUM server for license administration and
distribution, you must use the PLUM server provided with PC-NFSpro 2.0
to create new licenses from a code1/code2 pair. Older versions of the
PLUM server are not compatible with PC-NFSpro 2.0 and cannot be used
with PC-NFSpro 2.0. The PLUM server supplied on the PC-NFSpro CD is
compatible with all versions of PC-NFS, PC-Admin, and PC-NFSpro, and
should be used in mixed software environments.

3. WINDOWS 95 ISSUES
====================
PC-NFSpro is designed to coexist with Windows 95 software. However,
refer to the following notes if you are using PC-NFSpro in a Windows 95
environment.

When Upgrading to Windows 95  -

If you use PC-NFSpro 1.x with Windows 3.1 or Windows for WorkGroups,
and you want to upgrade your PC to Windows 95, you must first upgrade
to PC-NFSpro 2.0, and then perform the Windows 95 upgrade.

LAN Adapter Required for Serial-Only Operation -

If you configure a PC running Windows 95 for Serial (PPP) communication
only, you must also configure and load a LAN adapter through Windows 95
(even if the PC is not equipped with a LAN adapter (NIC) card). This
ensures the successful addition of PC-NFSpro as a Network client. If
you reconfigure PC-NFSpro from a LAN to a serial configuration, do not
unload/remove the LAN driver.

To load a LAN adapter:
1. Choose Start->Settings->Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel.
3. Choose Add.
4. Choose Network Adpater.
5. Choose Add. 
   The Select Network adapters dialog box opens.
6. Select any network adapter from the list of adapters.
7. Choose OK.

The Microsoft TCP/IP Stack Causes WINSOCK.DLL Problem -

PC-NFSpro requires its own WINSOCK.DLL file to be installed in the
\SOLARNET\BIN directory. However, if you install the Microsoft TCP/IP
stack supplied with Windows 95, an additional WINSOCK.DLL file is
installed in the \WINDOWS\ directory. The presence of two WINSOCK.DLL
files causes some PC-NFSpro applications and utilities to fail. If you
have installed (and subsequently removed) the Microsoft TCP/IP stack,
you must rename the WINSOCK.DLL file in the \WINDOWS\ directory to
prevent PC-NFSpro applications from using it. Rename this file
WINSOCK.DL-. Note that when PC-NFSpro is installed, it renames the
WSOCK32.DLL supplied with the Microsoft TCP/IP stack to WSOCK32.DL-.

NetBIOS Domain Scope Parameter -

This parameter is invalid in Windows 95 and can be ignored.
______________________________________________________________________

4. TELNET
=========

In a New Location -

The Telnet application is now installed in its own directory:
(\SOLARNET\TELNET). If you are upgrading from a previous version of
PC-NFSpro, you must move any ECF files to this directory. In addition,
you must remove DEFINE KEY commands in these files.
______________________________________________________________________

5. Pronto E-Mail
================

SHARE Required When Using Windows 3.1 -

To use Pronto E-Mail with Windows 3.1, CONFIG.SYS must load the
SHARE.EXE program. Refer to the MS-DOS on-line help by typing 'help
share' at the MS-DOS command prompt for more information.

CTL3DV2.DLL Version Compatibility -

If you do a full PC-NFSpro installation, or a custom installation that
includes Pronto E-Mail, a new version of CTL3DV2.DLL is installed in
the Windows system directory. If there is an older version of
CTL3DV2.DLL in the Windows directory, you should rename or delete it.
The older version may cause problems with the encode/decode features of
Pronto E-Mail.

To Import SelectMail or E-Mail 1.x Folders -

Pronto E-Mail uses an efficient database storage format for messages.
Existing SelectMail or E-Mail 1.x folders can be imported by using the
File->Import Folder... option. A utility will be provided in the future
which will automatically upgrade SelectMail or E-Mail folders to the
new format. This utility will be made available in the SunSoft forum on
CompuServe.

Multiuser Operation -

You can configure Pronto E-Mail for multiuser operation. Refer to
"Serving Multiple E-Mail Users" in the Contents section of E-Mail help
for multiuser configuration procedures.

6. NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR
======================

Correct TCP/IP Configuration Required -

If you run Netscape Navigator without correctly configuring TCP/IP,
Netscape will cause a GPF (General Protection Fault).

Win32s Version Incompatibility -

If you presently use version 1.15 or earlier of Win32s, you will not be
able to install the Netscape Navigator. To solve this problem, either
remove the the old version of Win32s or upgrade to version 1.25 of
Win32s. Double-click the Release Notes icon in the PC-NFSpro group to
view instructions about determining your Win32s version, removing an
old version of Win32s, and obtaining a copy of version 1.25 of Win32s.
