Release notes for pcANYWHERE III version 3.11a 01-Jan-1990

1. More Information about DESQview and pcANYWHERE III

        Your master ATERM diskette contains the file "AT-PIF.DVP" so
        that ATERM can be run in a DESQview window. Follow directions
        in your DESQview manual to add ATERM to your DESQview program
        selection window.

        You can use the pcANYWHERE III host software, ANYWHERE.EXE, with
        DESQview on 80286 PC's or on 80386 PC's without QEMM. If you do,
        you will not be able to run ANYWHERE as a background session. You
        will, however, be able to remotely control the entire DESQview
        host. Simply run ANYWHERE before you run DESQview. When you want
        to bring up DESQview's pop-up window remotely, use the keystroke
        combination of <Alt>-"+" ("+" on the numeric keypad).



2. How to establish a connection between Aterm and pcAnywhere on a
   dedicated line or on an existing voice connection.
   (The instructions for "Voice First Operation" on page 11 at the
   beginning of the pcANYWHERE manual may not work with some modems.)

   These instructions assume you are using Hayes compatible modems
   and that the host and remote users are in voice contact.

        1) Set Aterm's baud rate to the highest baud rate the remote
        modem supports and set the connect type to "Manual modem".

        2) Set pcAnywhere's baud rate to "Auto" or the highest baud
        rate the host modem supports. Set the connect type to
        "Automatic modem" and make an appropriate modem selection
        for the modem you are using. From pcAnywhere's main menu,
        press <F7> (Install) and select installation options. Select
        "Modem initialization string" and enter "ATX1" (without the
        quotes). Select "Default phone number" and enter "R"
        (without the quotes). Press <F10> twice to return to the
        main menu then press <F9> to save this configuration.
        Start pcAnywhere in "Resident" mode (press <F3> from the
        main menu). (Once pcAnywhere is configured as described
        above, pcAnywhere may be started by executing the command:
        ANYWHERE RESIDENT)

        3) When you are ready to establish a connection, the user at
        the pcAnywhere side (host) should press <Ctrl><Right-Shift>
        to pop up the resident mode menu and then press <F3> to
        initiate a call. When the phone number prompt is displayed,
        press <Enter>. When the host PC displays the message
        "INITIALIZING MODEM" the user at the host end should inform
        the user at the remote end.
        The user at the remote end should then press <F2> from
        Aterm's main menu to initiate a call. The screen on the
        remote PC will be cleared. The remote user should then type
        ATX1D and press <Enter>.

        4) If you are switching from voice to data, the remote user
        should hang up the receiver shortly after entering ATX1D.
        The host user should hang up the receiver when the modem's
        "answer tone" is heard. It is important that the receivers
        be placed "on hook" after the respective modems have gone
        "off hook" but before a connection is established.
        Hanging up before the modem goes off hook may terminate the
        phone connection. Hanging up after the modems have
        established a connection may cause carrier to be lost.

        5) If all goes well, the modems should establish a
        connection and pcAnywhere and Aterm should be connected.



3. Using ATERM on a NEC UltraLite or IBM lap top.

        The NEC UltraLite and IBM lap top keyboards are slightly
        different than standard IBM PC keyboards. A special version
        of ATERM called ATERMLAP is included on the ATERM disk
        which allows you to take full advantage of the lap top
        cursor keys and numeric keypad.



4. Using pcANYWHERE with PC-MOS.

        This version of pcANYWHERE was tested with PC-MOS version 3.0
        set up for one user without any special drivers loaded. With
        the exception of remote printing, no problems were encountered.
        Since PC-MOS does not use the standard IBM ROM BIOS printer
        interface, remote printing is not supported with PC-MOS.
        Before running pcANYWHERE, the .MOS USEIRQ command MUST be
        executed to tell PC-MOS that an application will be using
        COM port interrupts. (See your PC-MOS manual for instructions
        on using the USEIRQ command).


5. Removing pcANYWHERE from memory.

        A file has been included on the ANYWHERE disk called REMOVEAW.EXE.
        This program will remove pcANYWHERE from memory if it is safe
        to do so. If pcANYWHERE cannot be removed from memory, an
        appropriate message will be displayed. Normally, you will only
        be able to remove pcANYWHERE if you have not loaded any other
        TSR's after running pcANYWHERE. Before removing pcANYWHERE
        from memory, you must cancel pcANYWHERE by running ACANCEL or
        by pressing <F10> from the Resident mode menu or by using the
        /C option with the REMOVEAW program.
