Before You Install Changi
-------------------------

   Changi for OS/2 must be installed on a drive formatted with HPFS.
   It cannot run on FAT-formatted drives.

   To run Changi for OS/2, you need OS/2 Warp version 3.0, 4.0, or
   OS/2 Warp Server and one of the following items:

    - TCP/IP 4.0, which is part of OS/2 Warp 4.0.

    - TCP/IP 3.0, which is part of OS/2 Warp Connect and OS/2 Warp
      Server. If you're running Warp Server, consider to install
      a fix for APAR IC12289, which should be available at

       ftp://ps.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/tcpip/fixes/v3.0os2/ic12289

    - Internet Connection, which is part of all versions of OS/2 Warp.
      If you're running Internet Connection included in Warp 3.0,
      you should install a fix for APAR PN71501. This fix is available at

       ftp://ftp.ibm.net/pub/pn71501

    - TCP/IP 2.0 with the latest CSD applied. To the time of this writing,
      the latest CSD level is UN64092, available at

       ftp://software.watson.ibm.com/pub/tcpip/os2/tcp20c1.exe
       ftp://software.watson.ibm.com/pub/tcpip/os2/tcp20c2.exe
       ftp://software.watson.ibm.com/pub/tcpip/os2/tcp20c3.exe
       ftp://software.watson.ibm.com/pub/tcpip/os2/tcp20c4.exe

      After installing the CSD, you should additionally install the
      above mentioned fix for APAR PN71501, available at

       ftp://ftp.ibm.net/pub/pn71501

   To view the manual, you need a web browser, WebExplorer, Netscape
   Navigator or any similar product will be sufficient.
