ECO KIT SUMMARY:

This kit contains various UNSUPPORTED utilities for PATHWORKS for
Windows 95 V1.0A as described below and in the readme file AAREADME.TXT
contained within PWW95UNS.EXE.  These utilities are provided on an 
"AS IS" basis. 
 
NDIS 2.0 Network Address Driver (DECND20.DOS)
=============================================

    Description

        This driver allows DECnet to be used with NDIS 2.0 (real mode)
        drivers that do not support the NetAddress keyword in
        PROTOCOL.INI.  It is useful if your NDIS 3.x (protected mode)
        driver does not support the NetworkAddress and you have an NDIS
        2.0 driver available.

        It will change the station address to an address of the form
        AA-00-04-00-xx-yy where xx-yy represents your DECnet node
        address.

    Installation

        Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network->Add->Protocol->
        Add->Have Disk

        Enter the location of the 'PATHWORKS for Windows 95 Unsupported
        Kit' and select 'NDIS 2.0 NetAddress Driver [Unsupported]'.

        After completing the installation and rebooting, you will have 
        to run the PATHWORKS for Windows 95 SETUP utility again to 
        correctly configure the network address.  This will add the 
        NETADDRESS keyword to the DECND20 section of PROTOCOL.INI.


PATHWORKS Datalink Mapper (DECDLL.VXD)
======================================

    Description

        This driver provides limited emulation of the PATHWORKS datalink
        interface for MS-DOS applications to allow customer developed
        applications to work with Windows 95.  The datalink interface
        emulated is documented in the PATHWORKS 5.1 SDK.

        Please note that this is for migration and backwards 
        compatibility with previous versions of PATHWORKS.  There is 
        no guarantee that the datalink mapper and old interface will 
        continue to work in future versions of PATHWORKS for Windows 95.

    Installation

        Using the Windows 95 Explorer, browse to the location of the
        unsupported disk files.

        Right click on the DECDLL.INF file, and select "Install".

    Removal

        Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs
        Select PATHWORKS Datalink Mapper [Unsupported]
        Click "Add/Remove..."


NetBIOS LANA Utility (DECLANA.VXD, DECLANA.CPL, LANA.EXE, USE.EXE)
==================================================================

    Description

        This driver will allow you to control which NetBIOS providers
        (LANA numbers) are used by Win16 and Win32 applications and 
        which transports are used for file and print service 
        connections.  It will also provide system statistics for the 
        Windows 95 System Monitor for each NetBIOS provider installed.

        After installation there will be a new Control Panel application
        called the "PATHWORKS NetBIOS LANA Utility."  This control panel
        is used to enable and disable LANAs and to set the delay factor
        for each LANA.  To change the characteristics of a LANA, right
        click on a specific line and chose properties.

        The installation also copies LANA.EXE and USE.EXE to your 
        Windows Command directory.  These are MS-DOS applications that 
        communicate with DECLANA to control LANA usage.

        The USE utility is identical to the PATHWORKS for DOS and 
        Windows version, but includes a /LANA switch.  This can be added
        to a connection line to specify which LANA should be used for 
        the connection:

            USE X: \\LANMGR\PWW95V10/LANA=1

        You can determine LANA assignments using USE/STATUS which will
        include information similar to the following:

            ...
            Redirector:       Version 4.00 (Windows 95)
            NetBIOS LANA 0:   Version 2.2 (NetBEUI)
            NetBIOS LANA 1:   Version 2.1 (DECnet)
            NetBIOS LANA 7:   Version 3.0 (TCP/IP)
            ...

        The LANA utility is used to control which LANAs are visible to
        applications.  When run without any command line parameters, it
        displays a list of all LANAs and whether they are on, off or
        not present:

            LANA 0:  OK, no delay
            LANA 1:  OK, no delay
            LANA 2:  Not installed
            LANA 3:  Not installed
            LANA 4:  Not installed
            LANA 5:  Not installed
            LANA 6:  Not installed
            LANA 7:  OK, no delay

        Individual LANAs can be changed using the syntax:

            LANA  

    LANA Delays

        Windows 95 does not provide a mechanism to specify the priority
        for different NetBIOS providers.  In some cases, this results 
        in a transport being used (such as NetBEUI) because it completes
        the NetBIOS CALL first even though DECnet would be the preferred
        transport.  By specifying a small delay (500-2000ms) for the 
        NetBEUI LANA, connections will be made over DECnet first.  Note 
        that this only applies to the NetBIOS CALL function and will not
        reduce performance for any other NetBIOS function.

    Installation

        Using the Windows 95 Explorer, browse to the location of the
        unsupported disk files.  Right click on the DECLANA.INF file, 
        and select "Install".  Reboot for the install to complete.

    Removal

        Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs
        Select PATHWORKS NetBIOS LANA Utility [Unsupported]
        Click "Add/Remove..."


DECnet Node Database Conversion Utility (NM_5TO4.EXE)
=====================================================

    Description

        This is a DOS utility that will create PATHWORKS 4.x database
        files (DECNODE.DAT and DECALIAS.DAT) from the PATHWORKS 5.x
        database file (PWNODE.DAT).

        PATHWORKS for Windows 95 only maintains the new database files,
        but some older DECnet applications may still look in the 4.x
        databases.  If this occurs, you may see messages like 'Remote
        node is unknown' or 'Node name not defined' even though the 
        node appears to be defined correctly when checked with NCP or
        the DECnet properties.

        NM_5TO4 will generate 4.x versions of the database files that 
        match the current contents of the 5.x databases.  NM_5TO4 takes
        no command line parameters and automatically creates databases 
        in the same location as the PATHWORKS 5.x PWNODE.DAT file.

        Note: Information in existing 4.x database files will be lost
        after running NM_5TO4.

        There is also the NMCVT.EXE utility included in \SDK\PW\BIN on
        the PATHWORKS for Windows 95 kit.  This utility performs the
        reverse function of NM_5TO4; it converts 4.x database files to
        5.x database files and is primarily used during migration from
        earlier PATHWORKS releases.

    Installation

        Copy the NM_5TO4.EXE utility to your PATHWORKS directory so
        it is available in your path.


PATHWORKS Mail Autosort Extension (AUTOSORT\*.*)
================================================


    Description

        This extension to Microsoft Exchange enables you to 
        automatically sort incoming mail based on the From and 
        Subject fields of a mail message.

        There are two interfaces to the Autosort extension:

        1.  Right click on any folder.  This allows you to add or 
            remove users (the From field).

        2.  Exchange->Tools->Options.  This allows you to view all of
            the Autosort settings and what folders that are associated
            with.

        The sorting is done by comparing the From and Subject fields 
        with the text provided by you.  If the text matches any part 
        of the string in the corresponding field, then that mail message
        is delivered to the folder.  All mail messages are left in the
        unread state so the folder name will change from normal, to bold
        when a new mail message is delivered into it.


    Installation

        Using the Windows 95 Explorer, browse to the location of the
        unsupported disk files.

        Right click on the AUTOSORT.INF file, and select "Install".


    Removal

        Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs
        Select PATHWORKS Mail Autosort Extension [Unsupported]
        Click "Add/Remove..."


PATHWORKS Mail Transport Provider for Microsoft Exchange (PWMAIL\*.*)
=====================================================================

    Description

        This transport provider provides access to the "New Mail" folder
        on PATHWORKS for VMS servers running DECnet.  When the new mail
        is copied to the client, a copy remains on the server in the
        "Mail" folder.  The provider does not provide access to other
        remote mail folders.

        When using Exchange, you should not use VMSMail or the PATHWORKS
        for DOS and Windows Mail to access the same account or the new
        mail count will be inaccurate.  However, you will not lose mail
        under these circumstances.

    Installation

        If you are currently running Exchange, exit before installing
        the PATHWORKS Mail Transport Provider.

        Using the Windows 95 Explorer, browse to the location of the
        unsupported disk files.

        Right click on the PWMAIL.INF file, and select "Install".

        Start Exchange.

        Select Tools->Services->Add->PATHWORKS Mail Transport.

        Enter the required information.

    Removal

        Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs
        Select PATHWORKS Mail Transport Provider [Unsupported]
        Click "Add/Remove..."


Windows 95 LK450 Drivers (KBD*.DLL, KEYBOARD.INF, LK450.DRV)
============================================================

    Description

        These are the WFW 3.11 LK450 Keyboard drivers adapted to
        install on a Windows 95 system.  The drivers are not native
        32 bit device drivers.  This should not be a big issue, as
        the native Keyboard.drv on Windows 95 appears to be a 16 bit
        driver as well.

    Installation

        Start->Settings->Control Panel->Keyboard->General->Change->
        Have Disk

        Enter the location of the Unsupported LK450 Drivers Kit and
        select desired keyboard driver/layout (ie. United States LK450).
        

INSTALLATION NOTES:

This patch kit contains a PC based file in a self-extracting format.

  1.  Copy PWW95UNS.EXE onto your PC into an empty directory.
   
  2.  Expand PWW95UNS.EXE.  For example,
   
         C:\TMP>PWW95UNS.EXE -d

      This will expand the file into its individual components with the 
      directory structure intact and place them in the C:\TMP directory.

      NOTE:  The -d switch is used to preserve the directory structure
             (-d MUST BE LOWER CASE). 

  3.  See AAREADME.TXT in the root (\) directory for the Unsupported  
      Utilities installation instructions.


NOTE:  If you have previously installed any of the unsupported 
       utilities, you should remove them and delete any associated files
       before installing the new versions.  These versions of the tools
       support the Windows 95 Add/Remove Software feature (with the
       exception of the LK450 drivers) to make future updates easier.
