                     "Plug & Play"  JNOS_PKG
                      **********************

Thanks for trying this evaluation copy of JNOS TCP/IP Installation Package
I would appreciate any comments you may have about it.

Note to Package Developers: INSTALL the program as directed up to the SETUP
section and stop and read the docs located in the \HAM\NOS\SETUP\DOC.CFG Dir.

To INSTALL from Floppy:
=======================
Copy the 'INSTALL.BAT', and 'JNOS_PKG.EXE' to a floppy disk.
Copy the same 'INSTALL.BAT', and 'JNOS_RGN.EXE' to a seperate floppy disk.
Place the 1st disk with the 'INSTALL.BAT' & 'JNOS_PKG.EXE' in the drive.
Type  a:  and hit enter.  (Substitute  b:  if drive B)
Then type   install <source> <dest>   where <source> is the source drive
where the JNOS_PKG is located and <dest> is the destination drive where JNOS
is to be installed.   For example: If you put the floppy disk in drive A: and
are planning to install JNOS onto drive C:, then the format would be:
  install a c          (Do NOT put a colon after the drive letters!)
You will be prompted for the second disk during the installation.

To INSTALL from Hard Drive:
===========================
Copy the 'INSTALL.BAT', 'JNOS_PKG.EXE', and 'JNOS_RGN.EXE' to 
the ROOT DIRECTORY on the SAME hard drive you plan to install JNOS onto. (The 
package can NOT be installed from one Hard Drive to another). Change to the 
Hard Drive where the JNOS_PKG is located. Then type  install <source> <dest>  
which in this case will be the drive letter of the hard drive you are on.  
For Example: If you plan to install the JNOS on drive D:, copy the two files to 
the ROOT directory of drive D:, change to that drive and type:
  install d d          (Do NOT put a colon after the drive letters!)

===============================================================================
 *** WARNING ***   Do  *NOT*  run "JNOS_PKG.EXE" or "JNOS_RGN.EXE" by itself!!!
===============================================================================
This file is a self-extracting archieve and contains MANY files and
"IMBEDDED SUB-DIRECTORIES" which if run improperly, will dump it's entire
contents into a single sub-directory. This will *NOT* function correctly,
so  -PLEASE-  only use the INSTALL program when installing this 
"Plug & Play" JNOS_PKG.


The INSTALL program will create a sub-directory structure on the destination
drive called: \ham\nos  and the bulk of the JNOS program will be stored there.
In \ham, you will find the batch file JNOS.BAT which starts the JNOS TCP/IP
Program. Also in the \ham directory, you'll find help files and the SETUP.BAT
to run the auto-configuration. This is the required directory setup for this
program.

If INSTALL finds an existing JNOS on the destination, it will rename your
user customized files: ftpusers, net.rc, alias, and Signature (.SIG) to
preserve them. Also, your last set of answers from the AUTO_CFG Program will
be retained. As long as your password remains UNCHANGED, you may copy your
original customized files (now called  name.ORG) back to their original
names, overwriting the default ones created by SETUP.

REQUIREMENTS TO USE THIS SOFTWARE:

  First of course is a Amateur Radio License. Since the program uses packet
radio as the interlink, a packet radio setup is also required. Your packet
TNC must also support the use of KISS mode (please consult your TNC manual
to see if KISS is supported and note the commands needed to place your TNC
into the KISS mode of operation), and finally of course, an IBM PC type
computer. This software requires at LEAST a 286 type, preferable with more
than 1 meg of memory, and will use some XMS if it is available.
  You must have at least 3.5 Meg of Hard Drive space available if you are
installing from floppy and at least 4.5 Meg available if installing from the
hard drive.
  The Baycom TNC is also supported but requires a special "BayCom" version
of this software and setup. This version is for regular TNC's.
