The files:
The diskettes contains a file called INET1.ZIP, INET1.EXE
(SHAREWARE) INET2.ZIP or INET2.EXE. You should copy the file to
a tempory dirctory on your harddive before you begin if you want
a faster install.
Just type in INET1.EXE, INET2.EXE (or double click in the File
Manager) to extract the files. If the file extention is .ZIP,
you will need PKUNZIP ver 2.04g or higher to uncompress files.
Once the files are extracted, you must run the SETUP.EXE program
from the Windows Program Manager (or double click from within
the File Manager window). Follow the on screen instructions to
completion.

diskettes.

BUGS.....
BUGS.....
Only two reported so far (related to Ver 1.2B).
The Uploaded version 1.2B did not include the file MSAJT112.DLL.
Oops. Version 1.2C is identical to 1.2B except it includes the
file MSAJT112.DLL. The uploads INETDLL.ZIP or INET112.ZIP
contained the missing file. Version 1.2C was the same as 1.2B
but contained the missing file.
Note. Version 1.2D and above no longer use the relational
database engine and are therefore much smaller downloads. Only
the Registered versions ship with the database engine. The
Shareware versions are therefore much slower and less robust,
but download size warrents the change.
Also reported with version 1.2B, was that the CMDIALOG.DLL may
not get loaded if the file already existed in your Windows
directory. But the program asked for it anyway. A work around
is to copy the file CMDIALOG.DL_ from the distribution disk
to your Windows System directory and expand it manually:
cd c:\windows\system
expand [enter]
asked for path and source file name
[ a:\cmdialog.dl_ ]
asked for path and destination file name
[ c:\windows\system\cmdialog.dll ]
You may obiously use the file Manager to execute the expand
command, but it will open a DOS window for the input perameters.
