          Appendix A   -  DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF RELEASE  App A  1(1)

          Product involved: AXIS NetPilot

          NetPilot can be used for management of Axis Print Server products with a 
          software version greater than 5.00.           


          1. Hardware Requirements
          
          AXIS NetPilot requires a PC with a 386 or higher processor 
          and at least 4MB memory.  
            

          2. Software Requirements
            
          AXIS NetPilot can be used with Windows, Windows for 
          Workgroups, Windows 95, Windows NT and WinOS/2.
            
          The network support requirements are:
                   
          * Windows:    NetWare client and/or
                        LAN Server/LAN Manager Workstation Service
                  
          * Windows for Workgroups: NetWare client and/or
                                    Microsoft Network (NetBIOS/NetBEUI)
                  
          * Windows 95: NetWare client and/or
                        Microsoft Network (NetBIOS/NetBEUI)
                  
          * Windows NT: NetWare client and/or
                        Microsoft Network (NetBIOS/NetBEUI)
                                
          * WinOS/2:    NetWare client and/or
                        Microsoft Network (NetBIOS/NetBEUI)
                          
          
          3. DLLs required
          
          During the installation of the AXIS NetPilot the following DLLs 
          will be placed in the AXIS NetPilot directory:
                          
          NWCALLS.DLL
          NWIPXSPX.DLL
          NWLOCALE.DLL
          NWNET.DLL
          NWPSRV.DLL
          PCTREE16.DLL
                 
          and the following DLL will be placed in the Windows/System directory:
          (only if it does not exist already):
                  
          CTL3DV2.DLL
                  
          To run AXIS NetPilot without a NetWare client (i.e. using the 
          Netbios/NetBEUI protocol), the NetWare DLLs should be in the 
          AXIS NetPilot directory. If you have a NetWare client, the NetWare
          DLLs can be moved to the Windows/System directory to share them with
          other applications.

            
           
          Appendix B   - SOFTWARE LIMITATIONS                        App B  1(1)

          Product involved: AXIS NetPilot
          Software version: 1.60
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                    
          1. Before uninstalling an Axis Network Print Server which has Remote 
             Printer connections, the user should disconnect all Remote Printer 
             connections using AXIS NetPilot. Otherwise, some information will
             not be removed from the NetWare File Server.
        
          2. AXIS NetPilot running in a WinOS/2 or Windows NT environment does 
             not support NetWare Directory Services mode because of improper 
             functionality in the NDS DLLs.
        
          3. AXIS NetPilot can not create Print Server objects on a NetWare 
             file server when running in Windows NT environment. Therefore the 
             user should create the Print Server object using PCONSOLE before 
             AXIS NetPilot is used for creating connections.
        
          4. Problems with NetWare Unicode tables.
             AXIS NetPilot fails to find the NetWare Unicode tables if they are 
             not located in a directory in the local search path. Make sure your
             local search path includes the NLS subdirectory on SYS:PUBLIC or
             SYS:LOGIN. Note that a mapping to the *parent* directory is not
             enough, the path must include the NLS subdirectory.
        
          5. NetPilot is mainly tested and runs well with Novells Netware Clients.
  
          6. Changing a Print Server's node address in NetPilot may cause 
             problem for NetPilot finding the Print Server again. This is
             easily solved by restarting NetPilot.

          7. The white version of AXIS 560 print server "NPS 560" with software 
             version 5.15 and the Specialix version of "NPS 530" with 
             software version less than 5.21 are not supported by NetPilot, 
             because they don't announce themselves properly.
