***********************MSHRUNST.TXT ***********************

This batch file will remove the LANtastic 7.0 Modem Sharing
components from the machine on which it is run. 

NOTE:  The enclosed MHSRUNST.BAT batch file is intended 
       for use only in a LANtastic 7.0 for Windows 95 
       environment. It is intended to be run from within a 
       DOS window on a system which has either the modem 
       server or client components of the LANtastic 7.0 
       Modem Sharing installed. 

***********************************************************

Overview:

This batch file works by removing the essential 
LANtastic 7.0 (Win95) modem sharing programs and changing 
the key pointers in Windows 95 to reflect the changes. 
Upon rebooting the computer, the modem sharing files will 
no longer be present on the machine and references to the 
programs will be removed from the Registry. The LANtastic 
interface program will still show options to Assign Modems 
and Share Modems, but the buttons will no longer function. 
If modem sharing functionality is later desired, it will 
be necessary to rerun the LANtastic 7.0 Setup program 
either from diskettes, CD-ROM, or an Install Services 
resource.

Issues:
This procedure is very straightforward on either a 
LANtastic 7.0 (Win95) modem sharing server or modem 
sharing client. It is only necessary for the batch file 
to update the Registry keys and remove the essential 
programs. 

The additional modem-sharing COM ports that were created 
during the installation are not removed by the batch file. 
Since each machine's hardware configuration may be unique, 
the additional COM ports need to be removed manually by 
the user, if desired. See step 5 below.

Other issues may need to be considered. The batch file 
assumes that Windows 95 and LANtastic 7.0 (Win95) are 
installed on the C: drive. If this is not the case, you 
would need to manually modify the batch file for a 
non-standard installation of Windows 95 or 
LANtastic 7.0 (Win95). 

***********************************************************

To Use:

*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
If the batch file is started from within an open DOS 
window, it is imperative that the DOS Window's Properties
be configured to 'Suggest DOS mode as necessary' and that 
the selection is NOT made to 'Prevent MS-DOS-based 
programs from detecting Windows'. If this is not 
performed, the update will not take place and the modem 
sharing will not be properly deactivated. To check this 
potentiality, right-click on the MS-DOS prompt icon. 
Select 'Properties.'  Click on the 'Program' Tab. Click 
on the 'Advanced' button. Ensure that there is a check-
mark in the 'Suggest DOS mode as necessary' field. There 
should be no other check-marks in the other fields. 
Disregard this note if running the program from the 
Start/Run tabs on the desktop.

1. Be sure that the MSHRUNST.EXE file was run in a 
temporary directory to extract the MSHRUNST.BAT and this 
MSHRUNST.TXT file. Be sure to read this MSHRUNST.TXT file 
carefully before running the batch file.

2. Copy the MSHRUNST.BAT file to the 'Windows' directory 
of a LANtastic 7.0 (Win95) modem server or client computer
from which you desire to remove the modem sharing function. 

3. From the Windows 95 Desktop, click Start, then click 
Run, then select MSHRUNST.BAT in your 'Windows' directory 
and follow the batch file prompts. Alternatively, you can 
open a DOS Window , type MSHRUNST <Enter> and follow the 
prompts. 

4. After the batch file has run and Windows 95 has 
restarted, the MSHRUNST.BAT program may be removed, if 
desired.

5. After Windows 95 has restarted, the additional COM 
ports that were added by ModemShare may be removed 
manually, if desired, by clicking:  Start, Settings, 
Control Panel, System, Device Manager, Ports. Then select 
each modem sharing port for removal.
