            |    Release Notes for Worldgroup, version 2.0    |
            |_________________________________________________|



Plug-in Compatibility
---------------------

Worldgroup applications can be launched from any Web browser which is
100% compliant with Netscape's Client Plug-in API.  At the time Worldgroup
Manager v2.0 began shipping, only Netscape Navigator versions 2.0 and later
were available for compliancy testing, yet many browser developers had
announced plans to support plug-ins in the next release of their software.

When you install the Worldgroup Plug-in on a Windows PC, you are installing
a .DLL file in your Web browser's Plugins directory, installing Worldgroup
Manager in C:\WGMAN, and creating the file GCSPATH.TXT in your Web browser's
program directory containing the path where Worldgroup Manager (specifically
GCSVCMAN.EXE) is to be found.


Windows 95 and Hypermedia
-------------------------

There have been reports of freeze-ups on Windows 95 systems connecting with
Worldgroup servers that have their "Splash Screen" sounds enabled, if the
Windows 95 systems have their "Open Program" sounds configured to play a
sound.  Make sure the SPLASHS option in CNF level 4 is blank (disabled) to
not play a sound if this is a concern for you.


If the RIP language had been removed
------------------------------------

If you had removed and disabled the RIP language, installing this has
reinstalled it.  If you want to remove it again, select WGSLANG from
option 7: Basic Utilities, select English/RIP, and remove the text blocks.
Then, disable the language by selecting WGSDMOD from option 7, and choosing
"The English/RIP language" in the left column.


IPADDR option in GALTCPIP.MSG
-----------------------------

Help text for the IPADDR option indicates that specifying AUTO will read the
IP address from the network interface.  This is not accurate; the correct IP
address must be specified here.  It's best to run GALICOIN.EXE to inspect or
change TCP/IP settings.


File "GET" and "PUT" with Remote System Console
-----------------------------------------------

In the Remote Sysop Client App's Command Interpreter, if you use the "put"
command to upload a file, your client system (not your Worldgroup server)
can freeze-up if the directory you specified on your local drive for the
"source" file does not exist.  Take care to ensure the existence of the
path and file before you use the "put" command.  If you use the "get"
command to download a file, you may be disconnected in error if you
specified the complete path and filename to download to and the file
already exists.  The workaround for this is either to specify the path
and not the filename to download to, or to make sure to delete an
existing file before downloading.


Displaying this ReadMe file
---------------------------

This file is named both WGSMAIN.RLN and READ.ME.  It is located in your main
Worldgroup directory, usually \WGSERV.  Use your favorite text editor to
review this document at your leisure.
