Installation Procedure:

        Note: InternetCT 1.7 or later is required with this product.

        Note:  SNet (3.?) IS NOT compatible  with previous versions (1.??, 
             2.??) of SNet.  ALL nodes must use version (3.0) or higher.

To install SNet perform the following steps:

     1. The  request sets (definitions)  used by  SNet are on  the Request 
        installation diskette.   The request sets must be installed and the 
        affected processor(s) rebooted before SNet will operate.

        Note: Request 11.0 or later is required with this product.

     2. If  this is to  be a  cluster installation be  sure you log  out or 
        turn off all other workstations in the cluster.

     3. Insert   the   SNet  distribution   diskette  into   the 
        workstation's diskette drive.

     4. Submit the  file [f0]<sys>HdInstall.sub or use either the 
        command Software  Installation or Install (if your system 
        supports one of these commands).

     5. The   installation   of   the   software   will   proceed 
        automatically to completion.

     6. Please  consult the samples in the  <Sample> directory of 
        the distribution diskette for the execution of SNet.

The installation  of SNet is  independent of any  other software 
and may be performed at any time.

Memory and disk requirements:

SNet requires  approximately 35  Kb. plus user  specified buffer 
memory in the  master workstation or SRPXE5x0. Using  the 30 Kb. 
default  value for  buffer memory  makes the  total SNet  memory 
requirement 65 Kb.  The disk requirement for this installation is 
approximately 200 sectors.


Changes from release 3.33:
     1. Corrected the agent's and server's closing of resourcesfiles.

Changes from release 3.32:
     1. Corrected an agent initialization problem on a multiple GP board XE530.
     2. Change to be compatable with PCSNet.
     3. Added parameter 8  number of network user numbers.

Changes from release 3.31:
     1. A problem, invalid node returned in getfilestatus request, in the
        agent created in release 3.31 was corrected.

Changes from release 3.30:
     1. Change to be compatable with NFSNet.
     2. Correction to agent user termination processing.

Changes from release 3.25:
     1. Increased the number of possible concurrent sessions to 32.

Changes from release 3.24:
     1. Provided the ability to use alternate request code ranges.

Changes from release 3.23:
     1. Change made to the agent to avoid ERC = 80 with CTOS 3.3.x.
     2. Change made to the agent to avoid deadlock condition on XE5x0.

Changes from release 3.22:
     1. Change made to the server to be compatible with CTOS 3.3.x.

Changes from release 3.21:
     1. A problem in the agent created in release 3.2 was corrected.

Changes from release 3.2:
     1. Free all resources on a terminated connection.

Changes from release 3.15:
     1. Session Timeout parameter is now used to initiate determination of
        tcp connection status by both agent and server.  Connections and
        resources are terminated and outstanding requests ERCed if unable to
        reach remote tcp.

Changes from release 3.14:
     1. SNetStatistics.Run would not run to another node.

Changes from release 3.13:
     1. The processing of large IO requests is overlapped with other requests.
     2. Display the sizes of IO requests in the statistics program.
     3. Change made to the server to accommodate the faulty request processing
        of LocusServer.

Changes from release 3.12:
     1. GetFileStatus for the node name now tries to return the node name out
        of the file specification used to open the file rather than obtaining
        a name from the transport service.

Changes from release 3.11:
     1. A problem in the server created in release 3.11 was corrected.

Changes from release 3.1:
     1. An error condition (ERC 61442) in the agent involving failed requests
        with OpenFH routing was corrected.

Changes from release 3.02:
     1. Support for the XE530 added.

Changes from release 3.01:
     1. The  server did not properly respond to the old style request
        version of QueryNodeName (rqcode = 302).
        
Changes from release 3.0:
     1. The  server would not  abort a halfopen  session after 
        the timeout period.
     
Changes from release 2.24:
     1. Overlapped   processing   technique   added  to   improve 
        throughput.  This is parameter 7 and has  a value of 1 to 
        16  with a default of 8.  This  only affects the way that 
        the  local  agent interacts  with  a  remote server.  The 
        larger  the number the greater the  consumption of memory 
        at  the remote server.  On slower  links such as SLIP and 
        X.25 larger numbers will provide better performance.
     2. An  error condition (ERC 61508) caused  by the server was 
        corrected.
     3. User termination processing by the agent enhanced.
     
Changes from release 2.23:
     1. An  error condition  (ERC 61442)  in the  agent involving 
        session timeout was corrected.
     
Changes from release 2.22:
     1. The  memory  allocation  in  the statistics  program  was 
        increased.
     
Changes from release 2.21:
     1. The  initial memory allocation  was changed to  allow for 
        the use of more memory.
     
Changes from release 2.2:
     1. An error  condition (ERC 61442) in the agent after use of 
        multiple remote nodes was corrected.
     
Changes from release 2.13:
     1. The  agent did  not update  the default  path information 
        when it changed.
     2. The  agent did not  use the file prefix  from the default 
        path.
     3. An   error  condition  (ERC  61442)  in   the  agent  was 
        corrected.
     
Changes from release 2.12:
     1. An   error  condition  (ERC  61442)  in   the  agent  was 
        corrected.
     
Changes from release 2.11:
     1. An  error   condition  (ERC  61442)  in  the  server  was 
        corrected.
     
Changes from release 2.1:
     1. A problem with user names on an SRPXE5x0 was corrected.
