LANtastic Network Operating System v4.00 Compatibility Testing Report
Product Reviewed: Q&A Version 4.0 by Symantec
Classification: Database software
Date: 11/22/91
Engineer: J Gerring
Compatibility Statement
Q&A v4.0 is compatible with LANtastic NOS version 4.xx.
Product Overview
Q&A is a network ready database and word processor (Q&A Write) that can be
used with LANtastic NOS. It supports all common database functions and is
able to convert data from other databases (dBASE, Paradox, and others) and
documents from other word processors (WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, etc.). It is
generally easy to use and includes several business oriented pre-defined
databases as optional installation items.
Test Equipment Configuration
The following machines were used for Q&A testing. All machines use Artisoft
AE-2 NICs. Testing was completed using LANtastic NOS v4.0 with
AILANBIO.EXE and AE2.EXE v2.03. Machines running as LANtastic peer
servers are designated by (S).
- CompuAdd 333: 386DX/33, DOS 5.0 (S) (Main Q&A server)
- Northgate 386: 386DX/20, DOS 5.0 (S)
- CompuAdd 220: 286/20, DOS 5.0
- Artisoft 286: 286/12, DOS 3.3
Product Installation Notes
Installation of Q&A on a network server is easily achieved via the program
provided by Symantec. After the basic software is installed, installation of a
Q&A LAN Pack is required to enable LAN operation and allow multiple users to
execute Q&A simultaneously. Once it is completely installed on the server, all
that is required is for the users to log in to that server, redirect an
available drive, change to the Q&A directory on that drive, and start the
program by typing QA at the DOS prompt. If installation has been correctly
completed, the message "There are X current users out of Y permitted by your
license" will appear toward the bottom of the initial menu screen (X and Y will
vary according to the number of users currently in Q&A and how many users the
LAN installation supports, respectively).
