Software Census for SMS 
Beta Test, Version D1.00
Tally Systems Corp.
March 31, 1995
Disk 2 of 2

There are three directories on this diskette:

        SWCENS.OS2
        SWCENS.W32
        PROBE.W32

The first two directories contain Alpha-test level 
versions of SMS-specific software collectors for 
OS/2 and 32-bit Windows (WIN NT and Windows '95)
PCs.  The recognition library files are from the
2.50a (US) NetCensus build.

The OS/2 Collector and the Win32 Collector are to be
used in much the same way as the DOS Collector.  They
can be run at logon time or distributed as jobs.  They 
write their results to the \MS\SMS\NOIDMIFS directory
on the client workstation.  The appropriate Inventory 
Agent must be run after the Collector to pick up and 
pass along the Census results to the SMS database.

The major differences are:

A changed file set:  There are fewer files with each
of these Collectors -- only a single executable and no 
COLLECTR.CFG file.

They run in background mode.  Each of these Collectors
is hardwired to run only in "hidden" mode, that is, in 
the background with no visible user interface.

PROBE.W32 contains a utility for collection recognition 
data from WIN NT and Win '95 PCs.  We would appreciate 
your running this probe on a few machines at your site
and returning the results to us.  The Probe does ask you
to fill in some basic information on the PC to help it
calibrate its recognition.
