                 RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
****************************************************************************

Copy the files NEWSRV.EXE, NEWRED.EXE and NEWNOS.BAT into your LANtastic
network directory (by default, this directory is C:\LANTASTI).  Make sure that
the files SERVER.EXE and REDIR.EXE are in this directory.  Make sure that these
copies of REDIR and SERVER are the one currently used by the network on this
machine.

Run the NEWNOS batch file and follow the instructions to create licensed copies
of REDIR.EXE and SERVER.EXE.  If the machine is not a server (i.e. if it is a
workstation only), NEWNOS.BAT will issue a warning about being unable to update
SERVER.EXE, and will proceed to update REDIR.EXE.

Repeat this procedure on all machines on the network.
