of PATHWORKS-related components:

        1. PATHWORKS NETWORK DRIVERS

           o Driver for PATHWORKS file, disk and print services (PCSA.DRV)

             DECnet network services from a Microsoft Windows environment.

           o Driver for DECnet for DOS (DECNET.386)
             The virtual device driver for the DECnet socket
             interface (called VDNET.386 on the PATHWORKS for DOS

           o Driver for Digital-enhanced NETBIOS (DECNB.386)
             The virtual device driver for standard and Digital-
             enhanced NETBIOS (called VNETBIOS.386 on the PATHWORKS
             for DOS V4.1 kit).  Digital's Enhanced NETBIOS 
             functions support DECnet's wide area networking capabilities.

           Other printer drivers can be found in the PATHWORKS for DOS
           V4.1 kit.

        3. PATHWORKS ICONS

           There are icons and PIFs (Program Information Files) included 
           on the Microsoft Windows V3.1 Kit for the following PATHWORKS
           for DOS-based applications and utilities: 

           o SEDT (DOS-based screen editor)
           o DECnet NCP Utilities (Network Control Program)
           o Spawner (DOS-based job spawner) 
           o PATHWORKS Mail for DOS (a client for VAXmail)
           o SETHOST (DOS-based VT320 terminal emulator)
           o PC DECwindows Motif (DOS-based X Window servers for 286/386)

Note the following information during installation:

        1. When installing Microsoft Windows V3.1, choose:

                DEC PATHWORKS (version 4.1 or higher)

           for your network.  This will install the PATHWORKS network
           drivers for you.  The PATHWORKS network drivers on the Microsoft
           Windows V3.1 kit are newer than the drivers that accompany 
           PATHWORKS for DOS V4.1, and contain specific support for 
           Microsoft Windows V3.1.

        2. To avoid overwriting the new drivers when running WIN3SETU, 
           answer NO to the question:

                Do you wish to access PATHWORKS network services under 
                Windows V3.0?

           This will prevent the older PATHWORKS network drivers from 
           being installed. 

        3. You must still run WIN3SETU:

           o To install the LK250 and DEPCA mouse drivers
           o If you wish to have your Microsoft Windows directory added 
             to your path
           o If you are planning to use the VT320 Terminal Emulator 
             for Microsoft Windows.  Additionally, the VT320 DECterm 
             font must be installed in the Microsoft Windows V3.1 
             Control Panel.

Microsoft Windows V3.1 has many new features.  We hope you enjoy using it 
with your PATHWORKS network!

NOTE:

The PATHWORKS for DOS V4.1 Software Product Description (SPD) 
lists Microsoft Windows V3.00A as the supported version of Windows.  
Version 3.00A was the current version when PATHWORKS for DOS
V4.1 shipped in January 1992.  The SPD will be updated during the summer 
to reflect Windows V3.1 support.
