     Appendix A - TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE RELEASE                1(1)

     Product involved: AXIS Print Monitor for Windows NT
     Software version: 1.01
     --------------------------------------------------------------

     1. Support for Windows NT 3.5x added
 
     2. Due to improper handling of the allocated memory in the
        Print Monitor, the system could run out of memory which
        required reboot of the PC.

     3. The logfile changed name to axprmon.log since Windows NT
        3.51, creates a file called axismon.log requiring another
        name of the Print Monitor's log file.

     Additional information
     ----------------------

     AXIS Print Monitor is used for peer-to-peer printing
     under Windows NT. Peer-to-peer printing means that
     your print jobs are sent directly to the print server.

     AXIS Print Monitor can be used for client server printing.
     Install AXIS Print Monitor on the server and share the
     printers.

     Microsoft Network (NetBIOS/NetBEUI) must be running when using
     AXIS Print Monitor.

     When using the Print Monitor in a client-server configuration,
     Pop-up messages should not be used on shared printers, since
     they are issued only on the server and must be acknowledged on
     the server before the print jobs will be released.



     Appendix B - SOFTWARE LIMITATIONS                                1(1)

     Product involved: AXIS Print Monitor for Windows NT
     Software version: 1.01
     --------------------------------------------------------------

     AXIS Print Monitor runs on Intel X86 platforms.
 
     When running the Add Printer wizard immediately after the
     monitor is installed or after reboot, the list with available
     AXIS Ports may be empty. Go back in the wizard, wait and retry
     to get the list with AXIS Ports.

     On shared printers, the status of the printer is reported only
     to Windows NT 4 clients. The status reporting is handled by
     Windows

     If a print job is suspended for more than ca 3 minutes
     (e.g. when the printer is out of paper), the print job will be
     restarted from the beginning. This is due to an error in 
     Microsoft's NetBIOS implementation

     If a printer is Offline when a print job is started, no popup
     message will be issued. The reason is that the print job is
     pending in the spooler and the Axis Print Monitor is not 
     called until the printer is Online.

     Appendix D - AXIS INTERNAL DOCUMENT                              1(1)

     Product involved: AXIS Print Monitor for Windows NT
     Software version: 1.01
     --------------------------------------------------------------

     Windows NT 3.51 support added by exporting the monitor API:s
     directly and not via function pointer table. Also, the calling
     convention was changed from __cdecl to stdcall. The reason was
     that on NT 3.51 some of the exporting API:s is declared as
     WINAPI which is the same as stdcall.   

     Two big memory leaks fixed. In Axismon.c function SyncRegistry,
     portKeyPath was never deallocated. In Axismon.c function 
     StatusThread, a printer object was opened (OpenPrinter), but
     never closed.

     Help is called context sensitive. When in Configure Port dialog,
     that Help page is opened and analogous in Add Port.

     The logfile has changed name to axprmon.log. The reason is that
     on NT 3.51 the system created a logfile called axismon.log
