The following section contains miscellaneous technical information about PCShare which is primarily of interest to experienced system administrators only.

A 2.1 PCShare 2.5 compatibility

The tar archive "HELIOSDIR/etc/pcscompat/pcapps25.tgz" contains the PCShare 2.5 client compatibility files that are needed for connecting to PCShare MS-DOS and Windows 3.x clients. If you need PCShare 2.5 client compatibility, execute the following commands as user "root ":

# cd /usr/local/helios (use your HELIOS installation directory)

# bin/stop-helios now

# gunzip < etc/pcscompat/pcapps25.tgz | tar xvf -

# bin/prefrestore etc/pcscompat/pcsdossrv.prefs

# bin/start-helios -i

All files will be extracted into the "HELIOSDIR/public" folder.

Note: All DOS/Windows PCShare clients require a valid static or DHCP client TCP/IP configuration.
The automatic PCShare 2.5 TCP/IP assignment for DOS/Windows 3.x clients is not supported anymore.
