ABSTRACT:

This file contains ROUTEGEN.EXE v1.0 and associated files that shipped with
NetWare v2.2.  This file is to satisfy the demands of several customers who
wish to have external router capabilities with NetWare 3.12 and 4.01 and don't
need the extra features and speed of the Novell (MPR) Multi-protocol Router
package.

SYMPTOM

     ROUTEGEN.EXE did not ship with NetWare v3.12 and/or NetWare v4.01


SOLUTION

     ROUTEGEN.EXE is based on the 286 architecture and is no longer Novell's
     direction.  It also requires older 286 style drivers which architecture
     has been replaced by ODI (see ODIINFO.DOC in DOSUP9.EXE for full
     explanation).
     
     Novell now recommends using the Novell MRP 2.1 plus which is the high-end
     replacement for older external routers built with ROUTEGEN.

     If however you would like to use the old style router you may use your
     old copy from 3.11 or 2.2.  For necessary LAN drivers, download
     DRVX.EXE.

     Installation Instructions:

     NOTE:     The files found in DRV2X.EXE are required to successfully
               install the external router software.

     1)   Format a diskette and label it LAN_DRV_001. Copy all the .LAN and
          .OBJ files from DRV2X.EXE onto it.  Also copy onto this diskette
          the files NULLB.OBJ, NULLC.OBJ, and NULLD.OBJ from EXTRTR.EXE.

     2)   Format a diskette and label it ROUTEGEN.  Copy all the files found
          in EXTRTR.EXE onto it excluding NULL*.OBJ files.

     3)   Insert the ROUTEGEN diskette into the appropriate floppy drive and
          type ROUTEGEN <Enter>.   Follow the menu options to create the
          router.  If using the Ethernet_802.2 frame type is desired, refer to
          NE286.TXT contained in DRV2X.EXE for instructions.
