                 The Latest About LAP-LINK PLUS
                          Version 1.35a
                    =========================

Reminder:  Be sure to complete the registration card in the 
LAP-LINK manual and mail it to Traveling Software to ensure 
that you will be notified of future releases of LAP-LINK and  
LAP-LINK PLUS.

USING LAP-LINK PLUS WITH DISK PARTITIONING PROGRAMS
================================================================
CAUTION: Do not use LAP-LINK PLUS with "DISK MANAGER" or 
"SPEEDSTOR."  Some versions of these disk partitioning programs
are incompatible with LAP-LINK PLUS and can cause possible disk
corruption.  

If you are using DISK MANAGER or SPEEDSTOR, use LAP-LINK
for file transfers.

If you have a hard disk that is larger than 32 megabytes, but it has 
been partitioned so that none of its volumes are larger than 32 
megabytes, you may find that LAP-LINK PLUS is able to read only the 
first volume (which is sometimes called a partition). If that is the 
case, you can still use LAP-LINK PLUS to print or access files on the 
second and subsequent volumes by copying those files to the first volume 
and then using whichever LAP-LINK PLUS function you need.

1    DEVICE WINDOW AND GRAPHICS PROGRAMS
========================================
While working in some desktop publishing programs and other 
programs that require a high-resolution EGA or VGA graphics mode 
you cannot call up the Device Window when you press Alt-D (or 
whatever other hotkey combination you chose).  If you are using a 
high resolution graphics program, pressing Alt-D causes your 
computer to beep.  You have to exit that program before you
can call up the Device Window.

2    NEW ERROR MESSAGE
======================
If you have an Epson Equity II or some other computer with a 
non-standard serial port you may see this message after you 
install LAP-LINK PLUS:

          This serial port cannot communicate at 115,200 BPS.
          Press any key to continue operating at 57,600 BPS.
          Reinstall at 57,600 BPS to avoid this message...

This message may appear immediately after you boot the 
computer or when you attempt to run DD.EXE. The cause in both 
cases is identical: the serial port cannot operate at the default 
speed of 115,200 baud. Having made this determination, LAP-LINK 
PLUS has lowered the speed to 57,600. You may continue using LAP-
LINK PLUS for the current session, but to keep the message from 
reappearing in future sessions, follow these instructions: If the 
message appears when you boot, press any key to continue the 
booting process, run DDINSTAL.EXE on the lead computer, and 
save the 57,600 setting that now appears there. If the 
message appears when you attempt to run DD.EXE on the server, 
press any key; when the Server Menu appears save the 57,600 baud 
setting that now appears there. 

3    LAP-LINK PLUS AND BACKUP PROGRAMS
================================
We are pleased to assure you that our testing indicates LAP-
LINK PLUS is compatible with most disk backup programs, including 
the new Fastback Plus. 

REMEMBER:  Any hard disk--regardless of which software 
programs it contains--should be checked on a regular basis 
with the DOS CHKDSK command. This is especially true for 
portable and laptop computers; portable computers and their 
hard disks are much more susceptible to damage simply 
because they are moved more than desktop computers. The 
CHKDSK command checks a disk for bad sectors and lost 
clusters, and reports its findings. The presence of bad 
sectors or lost clusters on your disk is an indication of 
developing trouble. See your DOS manual and computer dealer 
or user group for more details.

                 **** DESKLINK NEWS ****

If you like the cababilities of LAP-LINK PLUS, you may want to 
look into DESKLINK for an office desktop-to-desktop connection.  
DESKLINK works similarly to LAP-LINK PLUS, but it includes several 
additional features.

One new feature is the DESKLINK "Talk Box".   While using a 
DESKLINK computer, you can pop-up the DESKLINK "talk box" and
carry on a conversation or send a message to your associate on 
another DESKLINK computer.  This is a great work group time saver.
For example, a secretary receives an important call while the boss
is on another line.  The secretary can simply send a DESKLINK message
which will then appear in a "talk box" in the middle of the boss's 
Lotus spreadsheet or other program he is using at the time.  You can
even "beep" an associate to alert him to an important message (or to
wake him up!).

The DESKLINK package includes a specially designed 25-foot cable 
that uses ordinary RJ11 phone wire.  Each end of the cable has 
both 9-pin and 25-pin serial connectors so it can link any two 
IBM PCs, IBM PS/2s, and compatibles.  You can extend the length 
of the cable up to 75 feet by purchasing a standard 25- or 50-
foot phone extension cables.

All registered LAP-LINK PLUS owners can purchase DESKLINK for 
only $39.95 (plus $5 shipping)--a savings of $130!  (There are
advantages to being a Traveling Software registered owner)

If you would like to order DESKLINK and you have not yet mailed 
your LAP-LINK PLUS registration card, send your registration 
card and a check for $44.95,  (or your VISA or MasterCard number
and expiration date) with a note indicating "DESKLINK Offer."  
Please include your shipping address and a daytime phone number.

If you have already sent in your registration card, follow the 
above instructions and add a note mentioning "registration card 
should be on file"; include the serial number of your LAP-LINK 
PLUS program and approximate date you purchased it.
