1.0 What is NetDrive for OS/2?


NetDrive for OS/2 allows you to access various resources, such as a 

ftp site, a local directory or a network resource, via a regular drive

letter.


NetDrive for OS/2 supports external plugins for different types of 

resources.


The version 3.x of NetDrive for OS/2 supports large files (greater

than 2 gigabytes), has performance improvements and enhanced user

interface.


The new version requires a recent version of OS/2 because of

large files support. If you need to use NetDrive for OS/2 on

a system that does not support large files, then please use

a 2.x version of NetDrive for OS/2.


2.0 Hardware and Software Requirements


To install and use NetDrive for OS/2, your workstation needs at least:


o A 486 microprocessor


o 32 MB of RAM


o 600 KB free hard disk space


o A connection to the Internet (modem, ISDN, or LAN) for FTP feature

NetDrive for OS/2 works with the following operating system versions:


o OS/2 Warp 4 FixPack 13


o OS/2 Warp Server for e-business


o OS/2 Warp 4 Convenience Package (MCP)


o OS/2 Warp Server for e-business Convenience Package (ACP)


o eComStation

NOTE: earlier operating system versions will not be able to load

the file system driver (NDFS32.IFS). For these versions please use

NetDrive for OS/2 2.x.


3.0 Installation Instructions


NOTE: If you have NetDrive for OS/2 already installed, then please save 

your virtual volumes configuration before installing the new version.

You can reload saved configuration after installation.


3.1 Installation Program


Change to the directory which you have unpacked ndfs315.zip to.


Run the ndinst.exe file to install NetDrive for OS/2. Please follow the 

instructions on the screen.


The installation program will find a previous installation of NetDrive 

for OS/2 and you can update the old version. The old configuration

will be migrated.


The installation program will unpack NetDrive for OS/2 files to 

the specified directory, edit CONFIG.SYS PATH and LIBPATH statements

and add statements to load file system driver (NDFS32.IFS) and

the control program (NDCTL.EXE). A backup copy of CONFIG.SYS 

will be saved as CONFIG.ND.


3.2 Manual Installation


a) Create a directory where NetDrive for OS/2 will be installed

(e.g. C:\NDFS):


  mkdir C:\NDFS

b) Copy the package file ndfs.@ to the directory:


  copy ndfs.@ C:\NDFS

c) Change to the directory:


  cd C:\NDFS

d) Unpack NetDrive files:


  unpack2 ndfs.@ /C

e) Delete the package file from the directory:


  del ndfs.@

f) Add the following lines to the CONFIG.SYS:


  SET NDFSDIR=C:\NDFS

  IFS=C:\NDFS\NDFS32.IFS

  RUN=C:\NDFS\NDCTL.EXE


 Add C:\NDFS to LIBPATH and SET PATH statements.

g) Reboot the system to apply these CONFIG.SYS changes.


NetDrive for OS/2 can be used now.


3.3 Manual Upgrade


If you have a version of NetDrive for OS/2 installed then

in order to install new version you have to proceed with the 

following steps:


a) Remove the following line from CONFIG.SYS:


  IFS=C:\NDFS\NDFS.IFS


 REM out the following lines in CONFIG.SYS:


  IFS=C:\NDFS\NDFS32.IFS

  RUN=C:\NDFS\NDCTL.EXE


 Now these lines must look as follows:  


  REM IFS=C:\NDFS\NDFS32.IFS

  REM RUN=C:\NDFS\NDCTL.EXE


 Please note that you'll not find NDFS32.IFS, if 

 NetDrive for OS/2 version you have already installed,

 is older than 3.0.

b) Reboot the system


c) Replace old NetDrive's files with new ones, as described


 in section 3.2 steps b) to e).

  IFS=C:\NDFS\NDFS32.IFS

  RUN=C:\NDFS\NDCTL.EXE


 Please note that if you have not found NDFS32.IFS line

 on step a), then add the line to CONFIG.SYS:


  IFS=C:\NDFS\NDFS32.IFS

e) Reboot the system

conditions.


If you have not registered NetDrive for OS/2 yet, the copy of 

NetDrive for OS/2 that you have is distributed as shareware.

to the provisions of this license agreement.

limitations. You can purchase NetDrive for OS/2 and

Registered version


When you register NetDrive for OS/2, you will convert it to 

the full, non-shareware, registered version. You may NOT 

distribute the registered version.

You may copy it onto a computer to be used and you may make 

archival copies of it for the sole purpose of backing up the 

software and protecting your investment from loss.


You may threat your registered version just like a book.

of people, and may be freely moved from one computer location

to another, so long as there is NO POSSIBILITY of it being used

different places at one time, neither can the registered version

of NetDrive for OS/2 be used by two different people in two 

different places at the same time (unless, of course, 

the license is being violated).


Using free plugins


Some of third party NetDrive for OS/2 plugins are free of charge.

Use of these plugins does not imply free use of NetDrive for OS/2

itself. Free plugins may be used either with registered version

of NetDrive for OS/2 or with unregistered version during the

Trial period.


NetDrive for OS/2 can be thought of as an operating system

which runs plugins-applications. For example, there are a lot

of nice free software for OS/2 but one still need an OS/2 license

to use OS/2 with these applications.
