                                  Version 2.01
                                  June 10, 1993

  This document covers important installation and configuration information. 

  This is a shareware distribution of IPX & SPX Custom Controls.  IPX & SPX 
  Custom Controls are for use with Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++.  
  With these controls you may create applications that can communicate as 
  clients and/or servers on Novell NetWare networks.  With the shareware 
  version of these controls, you cannot load the controls in the development
  environment (VB.EXE).

  Please READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  The 2.00 version of IPX.VBX and SPX.VBX are deliberately incompatible
  with the 1.x version of the controls.  There were several nasty bugs
  in the first controls which were resolved in this version.  Please
  replace any 1.x version of these controls with this version and double
  check your properties in the development environment.  Otherwise, you
  may experience strange behavior, or GP Faults.

  Version 2.00 has corrected several bugs, notably a GP Fault in allocating
  memory for the ECBs.  Another important feature is allowing multiple 
  instances of the controls.

Installation Directions
--------------------------------- 
  Create a subdirectory on your hard drive and copy the zip file into it.
  Unzip the files using the -d option to create the subdirectories for the 
  three example applications.
  Copy IPX.SPX and SPX.VBX into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.  
  The sample applications can then be run by double-clicking on the 
  executables in File Manager, or by using the File/Run option in Program 
  Manager.

Important Program Notes
***********************

  The IPX.VBX and SPX.VBX require that the workstation be set up as a 
  NetWare client.  This involves loading IPX.COM or IPXODI.COM before 
  starting Windows.  The following lines should be included in the 
  SYSTEM.INI file to properly load network components for Windows.

  [386Enh]
  network=*vnetbios,vipx.386,vnetware.386

  [boot]
  network.drv=netware.drv

  The example applications also require the NetWare requester (NETX or 
  VLM) be loaded before starting Windows.  The applications make several 
  calls through the requester and NWCALLS.DLL to locate other users on 
  the network.
