Windows. Internet Explorer performs much faster so it is the 
preferred browser. Refer to the readme.txt file on the CD-ROM for 
more information.

the individual HTML filenames may differ.

===NOVELL CLIENT KIT REQUIREMENTS===

Novell's Client Kit software is required for Visual PRO/5 for
Novell NetWare. These Client Kits are available for downloaded
at http://www.novell.com

Microsoft's Novell Client Kit is not currently supported. 

===LAPTOP REQUIREMENTS===

We strongly suggest you remove your PCMCIA network interface card
and remove your laptop from its docking station during Visual 
PRO/5 license registration. We suggest that you node lock your 
Visual PRO/5 License to your hard drive to prevent possible 
problems with your license file being locked to a specific network
card.

===WINDOWS NT REQUIREMENTS===

Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 (required) ---

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/nt40/
ussp4
Select the i386 directory and the sp4schki.exe file.

Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a (optional) ---

http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/SP6/
allSP6.asp


NOTE: Before installing Visual PRO/5 on Windows NT 4.0, ensure 
that you have privileges that allow you to create directories on 
the designated drive and add files, and create Program folders and
shortcuts that are accessible from the Start menu.    

NOTE: The Visual PRO/5 "TYPICAL Install" type will fail with an Error 115 on a 
Novell NetWare volume if the volume does not have Long File Name support.   To 
prevent the error, select the "COMPACT Install" type.  This will only install 
the necessary components to run Visual PRO/5 and will omit the online 
documentation, demos, and utilities.  Alternatively, Visual PRO/5 can be 
installed to a local drive and then manually copied to the NetWare Server.  The 
files that do not meet the 8.3 naming criteria will fail to be copied, but the 
majority of the files will be available.
