Sorry for any inconvenience!

The basic CD for Windows has been completed yesterday. Everything for
windows 98/95 and 3.1 works. Here is a simple outline of what the CD does:

Windows 9x
When the CD is put in the drive it brings up a window containing buttons
with the following options:
-install Netscape (optional)
-install and sets up Dialup Networking
	-updates IE if the user has a version < 4.0
	-creates an icon on the desktop "Shortcut to Chebucto"
-install and sets up TeraTerm

Windows 3.1
The user must exit windows and run the batch file from the CD. The rest is
done automatically.
-creates a program group for Chebucto
-installs Netscape 3.04 (newer version available on the CD)
-installs TeraTerm with 3 icons in the Chebucto folder
	-telnet to chebucto
	-telnet to phoenix (for changing PPP password)
	-telnet/dialup
-installs setup file for cybercom
-installs trumpet winsock

There is room on the CD for other programs/files. I am open to suggestions
as to what else should go on it. 

When making suggestions remember that we don't want to put things
on the CD that will cause mass-phoning to the office for extra
tech support.

Also, any documentation to be included would have to be current,
accurate, not infringing copyright and preferably with the author(s)
recognised, with their email address for comments.

Please email me with your suggestions by Wednesday next week (April 5) at
12 noon and include references where applicable.

The suggestions will be reviewed and decided upon next week. Once
we have everything completed for Windows I will pass it on to Arved to
complete the CD with the Mac programs.
