Expert Installation Instructions:
---------------------------------

Please see manual.doc for more detailed installation instructions in
addition to notes on performance and unsupported functionality. For the
expert, here you go:

1) You must have Microsoft's TCP/IP Protocol in addition to WinSock installed
   and working. Other TCP/IP stacks WILL NOT WORK unless they support 
   Microsoft's TCP/IP VxD Interface.

2) Install the ZanNet client just like any other Windows 95 network 
   client--bring up Windows | Control Panel | Network, click on Add, click 
   on Have Disk, and select the ZanNet .INF file.

   WARNING: Don't use any long file names (over 8.3) for the path of the
   directory that you install ZanNet from. We suggest you unzip the ZanNet
   files to a directory called \zannet and install from there.

3) If your Unix system has ZanNet preinstalled on port 317, simply configure
   ZanNet for that port in Server Properties | User. You must have a login
   on that Unix system with your user name.

   Otherwise, if ZanNet does not exist on your Unix system, and you don't have
   root access, FTP the appropriate binary to your Unix shell account's home
   directory. If you don't have a binary, FTP the files zanserv.c and 
   zanserv.h to your account. Compile the C file with the following command 
   line:

       cc -o zanserv zanserv.c

   SunOS and Solaris users may need to type the following:

       cc -lsocket -lnsl -o zanserv zanserv.c

   If you have a compile error (such as a crypt() link error on BSDI). Try 
   compiling without ZanNet's multi-user mode. Binaries compiled without this
   mode will not work under inetd:

	   cc -DZANNET_NO_MULTIUSER -o zanserv zanserv.c

   You will need to modify your server properties to reflect whatever
   zanserv binary name you end up with (see step 4). No access to a Unix
   compiler? Talk to your system administrator.

   If you have root access to your Unix machine, and you'd like to install
   ZanNet as a server for multiple users on IANA assigned port 317, run the
   ZanNet server binary with no options, and follow the usage instructions.

4) After reboot, you should see a blue letter "Z" tray icon. Double click
   on this to get the ZanNet Properties. A setup wizard will guide you 
   through adding a new server.

5) Map a ZanNet network drive by right clicking on the "Z" tray icon, or
   through any of the Windows 95 network drive mapping facilities.
   
6) Use the drive letter normally. Consult manual.doc for restrictions.


ZanNet Release I Notes
----------------------

ZanNet Release I includes many new features and bug fixes since our beta II
release. Of the new features, the most exiting additions are the Unix server 
deamon, direct WinGate support (with SOCKS v5), and complete DOS support with 
8.3 file name mangling.

New Features:
------------

Server Daemon:
------------- 

ZanNet no longer requires Telnet. You can install a ZanNet server deamon on 
your Unix box using IANA assigned port 317. Consult the manual for further
instructions.

WinGate and other firewall support:
----------------------------------

With a new property page you can configure ZanNet for use with any SOCKS v5 
compliant firewall. ZanNet has been tested with WinGate's SOCKS v5 firewall.

Better DOS support:
------------------

DOS style 8.3 name mangling is now supported along with FS_SearchFile (for DOS
INT 21h functions 11h, 12h, 4eh, and 4fh). ZanNet uses the SAMBA style of name
mangling. Reserved DOS names (like "con") are also mangled in addition to dot
prefaced file names.

Error log file:
--------------

Turn on error logging to create a text logfile that you can send in for help with 
any problems.

Auto-port detection:
-------------------

All ports that are not well known are now automatically assigned. Beta II users 
will notice that the Windows incoming port in no longer configurable.

New registration key format:
---------------------------

ZanNet beta II users will notice a new style of registration key. We will try to 
update all existing customers. Contact sales@zannet.com if we miss you.

Telnet background option:
------------------------

Telnet users can run the ZanNet server in the background. Useful for executing 
quick Telnet commands through the ZanNet debug window while the server is running.

FS_EnumerateHandle:
------------------

The file system call for GetFileInformationByHandle is now supported.

Tray icon changes:
-----------------

The tray icon colors have been changed. Connection detection has been improved. And,
a new MRU list of ZanNet servers has been added to the icon (right mouse click).

Additions to the Permissions Property Page:
------------------------------------------

The file permissions property page now includes both Unix change group and change 
owner. Plus, text translation has been added (by popular demand). Just click on 
either Windows Style Text or Unix Style Text at any time to change text types.

ZanNet test program:
-------------------

Test your ZanNet server compiles with zanapi.exe. This Windows program exercises
your new server with plenty of Windows file system requests.

And much more:
-------------

Other new improvements include debug window buttons, increased file copy performance, 
Dial up Network (DUN) detection, version checking, and many bug fixes.

Bug Fixes:
--------- 

Compared to ZanNet beta II, release I has hundreds of bug fixes. The following is
a brief list of areas fixed:

Uninstall problem fixed.
Connection refused problems resolved.
DOT '.' prefaced Unix files now displayed.
Both '.' and '..' now returned in a directory listing.
Special DOS files names are now mangled.
Running without tray icon fixed.
Permissions problems fixed.
Login as another user now supported.
Read/Write streams bug resolved.
Keep-Alive problems resolved.
Password caching problems resolved.
