------------------------------------------
DLC TO IBM PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS GATEWAY
------------------------------------------

If you connect via DLC to an IBM Personal Communications 
Gateway (PCOM) version 1.1, you must select the PC3270 gateway option 
in the DLC configuration dialog box. For versions of the PCOM gateway 
later than 1.1, do not select the PC3270 option.

----------------------------------------
DLC AND COMMUNICATION CHECK REMINDER 510
----------------------------------------

If your workstation is connected via DLC to the Host and the 
Physical Unit drops, the EXTRA! Operator Information Area (OIA) 
will display a Communication Check Reminder 510 indicating loss 
of communication with the host.  At the same time, the 
Condition of Connection field will be set to all blanks.  
If, however, you send a SYSREQ (System Request) to the host, 
a stick man will appear in the Condition of Connection field.  
This is an incorrect status and will be corrected in a later 
update.  

--------------------------
IBM THINKPAD CONFIGURATION
--------------------------

EXTRA! for Windows requires that you use IBM Token ring drivers for 
DLC Connectivity with an IBM ThinkPad.  If you are having trouble 
configuring the IBM token ring adapters, here is a sample 
config.sys that you might want to refer to. 

(Please Note that there are assumptions made about the drive and 
path for the drivers and these should be modified by you in accordance 
with your thinkpad's directory structure.  Further it is assumed that 
the Shared RAM for the token ring adapter starts at 0xC8000.  This 
might be different in your case and should be adjusted accordingly.)

---------------------------------------
RUNNING EXTRA! IN WINDOWS STANDARD MODE
---------------------------------------

If you are running in Windows 3.1 Standard mode, you must 
manually install E4WTIMER.EXE (a standard mode device 
driver) by including it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and 
rebooting..
 
This driver allows your communications line to remain active when 
you shell out to DOS, or do task-switching with another DOS 
application.
 
This driver remains in your workstation's memory even if you are 
not using EXTRA!. If you need to unload E4WTIMER.EXE to save 
memory, exit to DOS and type the following command:

  path\E4WTIMER /U            ;path=the path to the directory
                              ;containing your EXTRA! files

IPX/SPX to NetWare for SAA
--------------------------

If you are using this connectivity in Windows 3.1 standard mode,
you need to load the Novell TSR TBMI2.COM before you load 
Windows. TBMI2.COM should be available in your Novell directory.


Virtual DLC Device Driver
-------------------------

VATMDLC.386 is a new virtual device driver for EXTRA! for Windows that 
allows you to connect to the host via a token-ring DLC connection. This 
Windows driver replaces the DOS TSR (terminate and stay resident) 
driver DLCINTFC.EXE. When Windows is running in standard mode, you
must load DLCINTFC.EXE before you load Windows.  Add this to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT.


------------------------------------------
DEDICATED LU SUPPORT IN TN3270 CONNECTIONS
------------------------------------------

The TN3270 configurator allows you to customize the 
Terminal Type negotiation string to include a specific host
resource (logical unit). Note that this feature only applies
to TN3270 servers that support this ability (e.g., the Open
Connect Systems (OCS) Gateway).

From the Terminal Type drop-down list box in the Resource dialog 
box, select from Terminal Type IBM-3278 or IBM-3279 then edit 
the field to reflect the syntax below:

IBM-327x-model_type[-E][@luname]

where:

x indicates the terminal type

-model_type indicates the screen size (model 2, 3, 4, or 5)

-E is an optional parameter that specifies Extended Attribute 
Bytes

@luname is an optional parameter that specifies an LU name 
defined on the TELNET server. The name, found in the logmode 
definitions of the LU, can be up to eight characters in length.

Note that if either the model screen size or terminal type do not 
match the LU characteristics as defined on the TELNET server, 
the terminal type negotiations will fail.  Also, if the model 
screen size in the custom terminal type negotiation string does 
not match the one specified in the Add Session or Edit Session 
dialog box, EXTRA! will not display the correct model screen 
size.

---------------
HOST TYPE AHEAD
---------------

When running a session in coax CUT mode, the host type ahead 
feature is not available; in CUT mode the controller has control
over keystrokes.

---------------------
KEYBOARD INFORMATION        
---------------------

Using a Key Tronic 122-Key Keyboard
-----------------------------------

To use the Key Tronic 122-key keyboard, Windows must be set up 
to support its "All AT type keyboards (84-86 key)" keyboard 
driver. Run Windows' Setup program if it is not configured 
for this driver.

You must also configure EXTRA! for the "Key Tronic 3270/PC
Attachmate Map."

If your Key Tronic 122-key keyboard starts beeping, or some
keys stop working, add the following line to your WIN.INI file.

    TypeAhead=2047

Put this line in the [Windows] section of the file, right after 
the KeyboardSpeed line.

The TypeAhead parameter sets the size of a queue used by Windows.
This queue temporarily holds information such as keystrokes, 
error messages, and mouse activity. The setting we suggest 
(2047) uses approximately 30K of memory.

IMPORTANT: Do not set the Typeahead parameter to a value greater 
than 2047. This is the maximum size to which the queue can be 
set in Windows.


Using an IBM PS/2 Host-Connected 122-Key keyboard
-------------------------------------------------

To use the IBM PS/2 Host-Connected 122-key keyboard, install the
Windows driver supplied by IBM with the keyboard.  Configure
EXTRA! for the "IBM PS/2 Host connected 122 key keyboard."


DCA IRMAKey Keyboard with Keyboard Driver
-----------------------------------------

In order to use the DCA IRMAkey keyboard with the keyboard driver:

1.  You MUST have irmakey.drv in your SYSTEM directory.  
2.  You MUST have these settings in your SYSTEM.INI file:
	
	[boot]
	keyboard.drv=irmakey.drv

	[keyboard]	
	type=4
	subtype=1  OR subtype=3

There will now be two DCA keyboard maps and two associated keyboard files 
on the setup disks.  One is the old map for use without the driver, which is 
called "DCA IRMAkey/3270 122 Key - Attachmate Map."

The new map is called "DCA IRMAkey/3270 122 Key - IRMA Map."


--------------------
TURKISH FONT SUPPORT
--------------------

For complete Turkish font support, you will need to order the 
Turkish Font Disk, part number 110802.40.  Contact your local 
Attachmate Sales Office for details.


-----------------
LIGHT PEN SUPPORT
-----------------

The Light Pen Support function is only available if you are
using a DFT connection to communicate to the mainframe.


---------------------
OS/2 (2.X) AND EXTRA!
---------------------

To run EXTRA! for Windows in the OS/2 (2.x) environment you must 
first configure the virtual DOS machine. To do this follow the 
instructions below.

1. Highlight the DOS icon with your left mouse button, then with 
   your right button, click once to bring up the icon menu.

2. Click once on the Open arrow then click on Settings. This brings 
   up the configuration screen.

3. Select the Session tab to view the WIN-OS/2 Settings box. 
   (If the Settings box does not appear on your screen, check to 
   see if the WIN 0S/2 Full Screen radio button is selected. Click 
   the WIN-OS/2 Settings box to view the configuration settings 
   menu.

4.  Make certain that the settings have the proper values assigned 
    as listed below.

         Setting               Value
         -------               -----
    DOS_background_execution   On
    DOS_device                 LAN support program (DLC, NetBIOS)
    DOS_high                   Off
    DOS_lastdrive              Users last local logical drive (A-Z)
    HW_ROM_TO_RAM              On (performance boost)
    IDLE_sensitivity           100%



-----------------
DOS HLLAPI TUNNEL
-----------------

HLLAPI applications that were written for the DOS version of 
EXTRA! can run under Windows using the "DOS HLLAPI Tunnel." First, you
must install the VHLLD.386 device driver into your Windows SYSTEM.INI
file. For information on how to install VHLLD.386, see Chapter 3 of
your EXTRA! for Windows Reference Guide. 

Next, you will need to run HLLSERVR.EXE (located in the \EXTRAWIN directory) 
for DOS HLLAPI Pass Through support.

This program displays an icon on the bottom of the screen to indicate
that it is running in the background.  If you'd prefer the icon to be
hidden, you may start the application with the following command
line: 

HLLSERVR H 

It will now remain hidden for the duration of your Windows session.

You can find more information on HLLAPI in Chapter 3 of your EXTRA!
Reference Manual. 

-----------------------------------------
SUPPORTED NETWARE FOR SAA SERVER VERSIONS
-----------------------------------------

EXTRA! only supports versions 1.3 and greater of the SAA
Server.

------------------------------------
EXTRA! AND ATTACHMATE CLIENT CONSOLE
------------------------------------

If you want to use Attachmate Client Console with this version of 
EXTRA!, you must do the following:

	1.  Install EXTRA!.
	2.  Reinstall Attachmate Client Console.
	3.  From the root directory on Disk 5, copy the file
	    USERCFG.DLL into your EXTRAWIN directory (or the
	    directory in which your EXTRA! files reside).

Attachmate Client Console will now run with EXTRA!.


---------------------------------
GATEWAY 2000 AND ADLC CONNECTIONS
---------------------------------

If you are using a Gateway 2000 machine, model P4 D486/66 or P5 66 with
PCI busses, and are using an ADLC connection, you may have trouble
reconnecting to the host after closing a session.  If this happens,
please call Attachmate Customer Support for a resolution to this problem.

------------------------------------
ADLC CONNECTIVITY AND SHIVA SOFTWARE
------------------------------------

In order to use Attachmate's ADLC connectivity, you must use Shiva's 
dial-out software version 3.5.
