This is a "PreviewWare" version of Class. Class is a screen transfer
program designed for an educational environment. To try this program,
down-load 3 files: Class.exe and Student.com and Clas$Hlp.hlp. After a
shell has been loaded on any workstation, run the Student.com program.
This is a terminate-and-stay-resident program which will take less than
5K of workstation memory. Student can be included as part of the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file as long as it is executed AFTER the shell has been
executed. Student should be run on all workstations which the teacher
wishes to monitor.
The Class.exe program requires ANW v2.0 or above because of the need
for SYS$MSG.DAT file in sys:public. If your version of NetWare is 2.0 or
above this file was placed on the file server at install time. Once Class
has come-up, the F1 key will give context-sensitive help information.
This should be enough to get you going.
This free version will only allow the teacher to see 2 students while the
real version of Class will allow the teacher to select from 100 students.
The real version of Class will also allow the teacher to remotely send
keystrokes to the student. This feature, along with the ability to change
current file servers has been omitted in this free version.
The real version of Class sell for $49.95 and can be received by sending a
check or money order to Lan Fan Technologies at the above address.
Class is not copy protected and carries an Internet License.
There are limitations to the Class program. First of all, it assumes the
existence of a high-speed LAN. It won't work too well over an async
1200 baud line. Secondly, it currently won't handle graphics data. If
this is crucial for your application, let Lan Fan Technologies know and
we might be persuaded to add this feature. Thirdly, the broadcast mode
won't work over a bridge. This is a NetWare restriction which should be
fixed when NetWare v2.1 is released. Also, a workstation which is
receiving broadcast information from one teacher will not be able to give
screen information to another teacher.
Even though these limitations exist, Class is on of the only applications
available today which uses the Novell IPX communication services. This
means that Class not only can work well over the InterNet (unlike any
NetBios program) but it's communications speed can be up to 8 time that
of a NetBios application. The windowing interface will allow any user
familiar with NetWare utilities (like syscon) to immediately feel
comfortable with Class!
Please feel free to show this program to your friends and associates. If
Class will help your company, Lan Fan Technologies is ready to ship you
your own copy for the fee of $49.95. (plus $5.00 for shipping) This is a
network license and is not copy protected. If you would like more
information about Lan Fan Technologies (including our Job Server
software information) send us a letter at the above information and we'll
quickly respond!!!!!!!
