AB 138/1 I N F O R M A T I O N R E L E A S E
This bulletin amends AB138 by making a change in the existing text, and adding pages 4 & 5 with extra information, for TINY Term Plus NFS running on Windows 95.
2.1 On existing Page 1, the line that reads "Check so that the screen
is set for 600 X 800" amend to
read "Check too, that the screen is set
for 640 X 480". This will enable differentiation between character
zero and character nought.
2.2 Add additional pages, 4 of 5, and 5 of 5.
TinyTerm Installation for Windows 95.
These additional instructions detail the extra commands needed to be run to configure the TinyTerm NS drivers for a Windows 95 installation.
Install TinyTerm as per the standard instructions, but making sure that the Century File Sharing (NFS) option is checked when prompted with the list of components to be installed i.e. Terminal Emulator, TCP/IP Network Applications and Century File Sharing (NFS).
Once TinyTerm has been installed and the PC rebooted the following needs to be run.
By using either the Windows editor or starting an MS-DOS prompt and using the edit program create a file called HOSTS in the WINDOWS directory. This file is the same format as the UNIX/etc/hosts file and should contain the IP name and address of any UNIX host that the PC requires NFS access to. It should contain the IP name and address of the PC it is resident on although this is not essential.
Example:
128.0.0.1 server 1
128.0.1.1 server 2
128.0.10.1 pc1
The IP name and address of each PC running NFS should also be in the /etc/hosts file of any UNIX NFS server.
From the Control Panel, double click on the Network option.
From the Networks dialog click on Add button.
Then select Client and click on Add button.
Click on Have Disk button and enter the directory that TinyTerm was installed into i.e. C:\CENTURY.
Then click OK button.
Select Century NFS, Century Software inc. option and click OK button. This will then return to the Windows 95 Network dialog.
Select Century NFS, Century Software Inc. and click on Properties button. In the PCNFSD host field enter the IP address of the UNIX host system i.e. 128.0.0.1
In the New server field enter the IP names of the UNIX host systems that NFS will need access to. This will normally be IP name of the PCNFSD host previously entered. Then click Add Server button.
When complete click OK button. This will return to the Windows 95 Network dialog.
Click OK button. Windows will now install any additional files it needs and therefore may prompt for the original installation media.
When completed click the Yes button in response to the question, Do you want to restart your computer now ?
Once the system has rebooted the NFS link can be tested as follows.
Double click on the Network Neighborhood option.
Double click on the Entire Network option.
Double click on the NFS Servers option. A list available NFS servers should now appear.
Double click on one of the servers listed. A list of exported file systems should now be displayed.
Select one of the filesystems i.e. /home
Select the File menu.
Select the Map Network Drive option.
From the Map Network Drive dialog select the Drive letter to map the filesystem to. Windows will normally provide the next available drive letter.
If this drive mapping is to be permanent (still available after the machine is rebooted) then click on the option Reconnect at login. Otherwise leave this unchecked.
Then click OK button.
If everything is working correctly a window will open displaying a list of files and directories in the selected filesystem. The PC can now be rebooted to remove any temporary drive mappings just made.
