INSTALLATION
This is an EINet PC software distribution 2.0 for use with
Microsoft Windows 3.1.
This EINet software distribution uses the Windows Sockets
(winsock) API version 1.1 and assumes you have properly
installed and configured the appropriate network TCP/IP
support software. EINet winWAIS has been tested and
works with Frontier Technologies Super-TCP Version 2.1,
NetManage NEWT/ChameleonNFS Version 3.1, Novell LAN
Workplace for DOS 4.1, Beame & Whiteside TCP/IP 3.0c
(and later versions), Sun PC-NFS, and FTP Software's
PC/TCP.
This software may also work with other Windows
Sockets 1.1 compliant TCP/IP implementations, depending
on their adherance to the Windows Sockets 1.1 Specification.
For installation from the self-extracting PKZIP archive file (EWAIS200.EXE):
1. Decompress the EWAIS200.EXE distribution file by placing the
file in a temporary directory on your hard drive (other than
the directory to which the software is being installed). Then
run the EWAIS200.EXE file from the DOS prompt or from the Windows
File Manager or Program Manager. The files contained within
EWAIS200.EXE will be decompressed and placed in that temporary
directory.
2. Using the Windows Program Manager's "File Run" command,
run "SETUP.EXE" in the temporary directory. Follow the
instructions presented by the setup procedure.
For installation from distribution diskettes:
Place the first diskette in the drive and from the Windows
Program Manager's "File Run" command, run the SETUP program
on that diskette (for example, "B:\SETUP"). Follow the
instructions presented by the installation setup procedure.
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS OR SUGGESTIONS:
To report bugs or suggest enhancments please email to pc-shareware@einet.net.
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
If, while running SETUP, you encounter an error in finding or copying
a file or a "file in use" error for a file such as: LZEXPAND.DLL or
COMMDLG.DLL or CMDIALOG.VBX or THREED.VBX try the following:
1. Restart windows and run the SETUP procedure again.
2. If you encounter the problem again and if the file
associated with the problem is already installed on your system,
run EISETUP from your WINDOWS directory and follow the
instructions presented.
3. If you still encounter the problem, restart windows,
rename the problematic file as a backup file name
(e.g. THREED.VBX -> THREED.BAK) and retry the SETUP procedure.
About Windows Sockets:
The WINSOCK.DLL Windows Sockets library is NOT a part of this
distribution and must be obtained and installed separately.
It is available from a wide variety of vendors.
Also a note for Novell Lan Workplace for DOS owners:
YOU must obtain their WINSOCK.DLL directly from Novell. They have made
their beta version of WINSOCK.DLL available on the Internet. Contact
Novell for details.
IMPROVEMENTS MADE FROM VERSION 1.57 TO 2.00:
EIconfig: New EINet Windows Application Configuration Tool.
EIsetup: New EINet Windows Setup Procedure.
wInvoke: The wInvoke EINet software invocation manager is
now included with this release.
gfxVIEW: Improved graphics rendering capabilities.
Now also supports JPEG, IMG, DCX, and WPG formats. Faster
graphics loading. More reliable viewing of 4-bit GIF files.
winWAIS: Now filter <type> is optional in [waisTransform]
section of EINET.INI. A line stating <type1>=<type2>
designates that any WAIS documents with a data type of <type1>
should be handled as if they were documents of type <type2>.
All Applications: Copyright date notices now include 1994.
Shareware applications containing the EINet address ZIP code
as 78759-6509 were changed to 78759-5398.
All Applications: Now look for help files in the directory
containing the application's EXE file.
IMPROVEMENTS MADE FROM VERSION 1.56 TO 1.57:
winWAIS: Fixed bug in winWAIS parsing of WAIS server database
catalogs. There was a compile/release problem that made this
operation unstable.
IMPROVEMENTS MADE FROM VERSION 1.55 TO 1.56:
winWAIS: Changed any "Ok" buttons to "OK" buttons. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: Now, if the "Copy File to 'File Save' Directory Before
Launching Viewer" option is set, the copy operation is ALWAYS
done prior to viewing the file. Earlier versions only did the
copy operation if an external viewer was launched. Now it is
also done when the internal text viewer is used. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: The "Don't Overwrite Existing Files" option now also
applies to saving Question files as well as for retrieved
documents. (WAIS.EXE)
IMPROVEMENTS MADE FROM VERSION 1.54 TO 1.55:
SETUP: SETUP1.EXE was modified to disable installation of the winECJ
program manager icon in the EINet Applications program group if the
user opted to not install it.
IMPROVEMENTS MADE FROM VERSION 1.53 TO 1.54:
DEIUTILS.DLL: Fixed small problem in file existence check
when using SHARE.EXE which resulted in a file-naming problem
in assigning DOS names to WAIS documents. (DEIUTILS.C)
winWAIS: Fixed problem in copying/saving files when
SHARE.EXE may have source or destination files locked. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: Now reports the DOS error message if it cannot
open/create a file when downloading a WAIS document. (WINWAIS.C)
winWAIS: Fixed problem in file naming when saving retrieved
files in a directory that has a "." in its name. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: Fixed problem in TCP/IP buffering that was
causing WINWAIS.DLL software to not work over FTP Software's
PC/TCP. recv() buffer was reduced to 1024 bytes.
(UI.C)
IMPROVEMENTS MADE FROM VERSION 1.52 TO 1.53:
winWAIS: Now permits 5-digit port numbers in WAIS Source
Definition Dialog. This was previously restricted to a
maximum of 4-digits (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: Now displays number of matching candidate documents
that are returned in a query. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: Under certain conditions at program exit, winWAIS
might attempt to delete files in its "temp file directory"
but if there were no files, an error would occur. This was
fixed. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: When the DOS SHARE.EXE or other file sharing/locking
software was running, the winWAIS application would terminate
upon attempting to highlight text in the internal text viewer.
(WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: When retrieving and viewing a document that has a
WAIS document type that has no associated viewer designated
in EINET.INI, winWAIS previously just gave the user the option
to save the file locally. Now, winWAIS attempts to determine
the file name extension of the retrieved file and checks to
see if Windows has a viewer associated with it. If it does,
the user is given the option of setting that viewer as the
default viewer for WAIS documents of that type. (WAIS.EXE)
*.DLL: New smaller EINet DLL's with more optimized execution.
(Compiled using Microsoft C/C++ Compiler 8.0).

running: fixed minor problem in dialog brought up at end of
setup process when SETUP1.EXE attempts to activate the Program
Manager.

0 for the winWAIS status window. (WAIS.EXE)

"Check Host" is selected and the user closes the dialog while
the "ping" is in progress. "Close" is now disabled until
the "Check Host" command completes or is cancelled. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: COMPLETELY NEW text search feature for internal
text viewer! (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: Text viewer's relevance feedback commands were
consolidated under its "Edit - Relevance Feedback" menu. (WAIS.EXE)

"Print Setup Font" to be a little more consistent with
several other Windows programs. (WAIS.EXE)

of a search keyword. (WAIS.EXE)

option to User Preference editing dialog. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: A check is now done at program startup to ensure that there are
no WAIS source definitions with identical names. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: Added "File - Delete Question" command. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: Fixed bug in selecting lines in the internal text
viewer for relevance feedback. (WAIS.EXE)
winWAIS: User preferences dialog changes: "Question Directory" was

winWAIS: Fixed bug in file datatype translation. There was an error
in the detection of errors! (WAIS.EXE)

is opened successfully.
EISOUND.DLL: Fixed bug in sound file conversion from AU to WAV formats.
