Which logs "ME" into the "local" domain, using password "PASSWORD".

if you didnt want to put something in your startup folder (might have to
change to the MUGLIB directory first... the object sets it as a working dir)

If I understand you correctly, you mean the messages placed on the BBS aimed
at assisting people in certain things. Yes, I have had a look at a few, but
there are so many I simply gave up - wondering how relevant they all were to
my needs.
I guess if you have plenty of time you could go through them, and, as you say
find some really interesting and helpful stuff - but, being the lazy person
that I am I usually prefer to short cut the research. Just been given dial-in
access to work...and the last few nights have been trying to get the darn
thing loaded, and after mastering that, I cannot get it working....I know
that if I do all the necessary reading I will eventually find the way - but I
would prefer to simply ask someone at work

Either you have to set up your Win95 machine as a 'browsemaster' (look in the

Neighbourhood' add-on (available at the same place you obtained the Win95
client for Warp Server) to your Warp Server server.

you have 'File and Print Sharing' set up and enabled on your Win95 machine?

    I have attempted to understate the number of workstations on the
network.  As I understand it (from reading the Injoy Email list),
the limit has to do with the number os host systems that network is
trying to connect to.  If I have the wording right here, there is
only room in the stack(?) for 5 or 6 32 bit addresses.

Yeah, I was completely happy after I deleted Win95, until I upgraded
some DeLorme apps that now require Win32s v.1.30.
Anyway I got tried of messing around with the NE2000 cards.  Several
of my native OS/2 and DOS apps started having weird problems related
to paths and netbind.  So I had to make a lot of special changes to
get it all working.  When I got done it still was not what I wanted.
My solution for the moment is a set of A/B switches that allows me
to use my good monitor/keyboard/trackball/printer with 2 machines.
Warp4 has the P200i and Win95 has the 486.

Just place PINBALL.SYS in \winnt\system32 and run the .EXE.  Reboot, and

If you name it, there is another 'server cluster' (beta) from IBM for OS/2.
Do you think 'IBM DCE for OS/2' could be a solution?  It's a more distributed
system than LAN Server itself and had a long time in the market.
There is documentation about DVE on the DevCon CDs but a little too much to
