NETWORK THROUGHPUT TEST (TM)

         INTRODUCTION

         This program is designed to test and report on the throughput
         of a File Server and one or more workstations. It does so by
         creating a 4 Mb test file in F:\PUBLIC and then writing to
         and reading from that file. By itself, MASTER.EXE will pass
         approximately 16 Mb's of data through the network in a short
         period of time (1 to 4 minutes).

         Although this, the Un-Registered Shareware version, comes
         with MASTER.EXE and SLAVE.EXE, you will only be able to run
         the program MASTER.EXE, until such time as you register the
         program with the author. (SLAVE.EXE requires a run-time
         password to enable execution).

         Once registered, you will be able to execute SLAVE.EXE on as
         many workstations as you desire, as long as they are
         connected to the same File Server. Once all copies of SLAVE
         are running, MASTER can be run which will create the test
         file and simultaneously start all copies of SLAVE.

         Be advised that MASTER and one copy of SLAVE will pass
         approximately 32 Mb's of data through the network in a short
         period of time. For each additional copy of SLAVE which is
         run simultaneously, add another 4 Mb's to the estimated
         throughput.

         As you can see, this test can quickly consume all of the
         available bandwidth. This is the idea, to place large
         quantities of data on the wire in a short period of time!

         The author SUGGESTS that you run this, the first time, when
         network use is light, just to see how your network will
         respond to the loads imposed.

         YOU ARE SOLELY AND COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE OF THIS
         PROGRAM. THE AUTHOR CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR USE
         OF THIS PROGRAM.

         INSTALLATION

         Copy MASTER.EXE and SLAVE.EXE to a shared directory, in the
         path, on the File Server to be tested. The author suggest
         that they be copied to F:\PUBLIC.

         (Remember, in this, the Un-Registered Shareware version,
         SLAVE.EXE cannot be run without knowing the run-time
         password)

         FLAG the two .EXE files Read-Only Shared.

         RUNNING THE PROGRAM (SHAREWARE VERSION)

         Login to the File Server on an account which has RWCEF rights
         to F:\PUBLIC, which is where the test file will be created.

         Run MASTER.EXE and follow the prompts.

         RUNNING THE PROGRAM (REGISTERED VERSION)

         Login to the File Server on an account which has RWCEF rights
         to F:\PUBLIC, which is where the test file will be created.

         Run SLAVE.EXE on each workstation which will participate in
         the test.

         Run MASTER.EXE and follow the prompts. Once the test file is
         created, master will start running all copies of SLAVE.EXE
         simultaneously.

         ERROR REPORTS

         Most errors occur when the account(s) MASTER.EXE and/or
         SLAVE.EXE login on do not have RWCEF rights in F:\PUBLIC.
         These rights are REQUIRED to enable these programs.

         WORKSTATIONS

         All workstations should be '386 or '486 systems with at least
         2 Mb of memory and should ONLY have the network shells, ODI
         drivers or VLM's loaded.

         WARNING

         DO NOT run MASTER.EXE and too many copies of SLAVE.EXE
         without first testing this program when network use is light.
         Be advised that MASTER and one copy of SLAVE will pass
         approximately 32 Mb's of data through the network in a short
         period of time.  For each additional copy of SLAVE which is
         run simultaneously, add another 4 Mb's to the estimated
         throughput.

         MASTER with 10 copies of SLAVE running can flood the network
         with almost 80 Mb's of data in just a few minutes. Please
         build up to these levels while watching network throughput to
         help insure you do not crash your server!
