PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT
February 3, 1997 ... SCO is now accepting orders for Release 3.5.2 of
the SCO Advanced File and Print Server. Product, upgrade and availability
information follow:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRODUCT NAME: SCO Advanced File and Print Server
DESCRIPTION: The SCO Advanced File and Print Server, combined with SCO
OpenServer Release 5, provides a highly-integrated environment for PCs
running DOS, OS/2, Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows
NT or Windows 95 operating systems to access files and printers on an
SCO OpenServer system, while also providing the application and database
server features of an SCO OpenServer system. The SCO Advanced File and
Print Server is completely integrated with SCO OpenServer Release 5 to
simplify creation and administration of network resources. Directories
and files on an SCO OpenServer system are accessed from a Windows PC as
another DOS drive. Printers on a UNIX System server can be accessed
directly from Windows applications as if they were connected directly
to PCs.
The Advanced File and Print Server represents SCO's continued
enhancement of Microsoft LAN Manager for SCO Systems to be fully
compatible with SMB-based Microsoft networking technology. Advanced
File and Print Server is based on Microsoft Windows NT 3.5.1 source
code, which SCO licensed as part of its agreement with AT&T.
Administration of the SCO Advanced File and Print Server has been
integrated with SCO OpenServer system's SCOadmin utility so that
creation of LAN resources such as shared files and printers, and the
creation of users, can be done from a single UNIX System administration.
The NT Server Tools used to manage Windows NT Servers from Windows
desktops are also provided. The NT Server Tools allow users to manage
resources created on the SCO Advanced File and Print Server, or on
Windows NT Servers, from a Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 or
Windows NT desktop.

NEW FEATURES IN THIS RELEASE:
-Support for files and directories that contain mixed-case characters.
This is a tunable parameter, and comes as the default behavior.
-File name mapping enables older DOS and Windows clients to see an 8.3
representation of long file names.
-This release fully interoperates with Windows NT 4.0. This includes
the ability to access shared resources using a server's IP address or
internet name only, without knowing the server's real name.
-Windows NT 4.0 Server Tools are included, for administration of SCO
Advanced File and Print Server from the NT 4.0 client.
-SCO Advanced File and Print Server has been localized to fully support
French and German languages, including localized server messages,
installation menus, net commands, man pages, release notes, and the
SCO Advanced File and Print Server Administrator's Handbook.
-SCO TermLite terminal emulator is available to use as a share on the
server, or for installation on the individual client machine. TermLite
provides SCO ANSI and VT320 terminal emulation via connectivity over
TCP/IP (telnet), or VTP (NetBEUI) network protocols. Clients supported
include Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and Windows NT.
-This release supports the ISO 8859-1 8-bit character set, which includes
most Western European accented characters.
-An in-place upgrade from Release 3.5.1 is fully supported. Existing SCO
Advanced File and Print Server shares, user accounts and licenses are
automatically retained.
-Windows 95 and Windows NT clients can now browse SCO Advanced File
and Print Server systems across routers and Point-to-Point (PPP)
connections.
-Full documentation is now included in the base product. This includes
Release Notes, Administrator's Handbook, System Guide, and the Concepts
and Planning Guide. The Release Notes and Administrator's Handbook
include versions in French and German. Additionally, a new chapter on
using SCO Advanced File and Print Server in a wide-area network has
been added to the SCO Advanced File and Print Server Administrator's
Handbook.
-By default, SCO Advanced File and Print Server 3.5.2 provides
connectivity for 1 user. A license key is not required during
installation to operate SCO Advanced File and Print Server in 1-user
evaluation mode. A base 5-user license must be installed before
additional client licenses can be added.
-Two new utilities allow server name and domain name reconfiguration
without initialization of the user accounts database.
-There are now net commands to manage trust relationships, access
permissions, local groups, and auditing. As before, these functions
can also be managed via the Windows tools.
-A new server parameter, write_behind, enables SCO Advanced File and
Print Server to notify a client when a filesystem is out of space.
