1   System Requirements
    ===================

    PC
        100 MHz Pentium processor or better,
        64 MBytes RAM (128 MB recommended),
        15 MBytes free disk space,
        Windows NT (SP3 or later), Windows 2000 Professional (SP2
            or later), or Windows XP.
        A TCP/IP connection to an NSK system.
        A monitor that supports a resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher is
        recommended.

        NOTE: We do not recommend installing MPRINT on Windows 95, 98 or ME.

    NSK
        NSK S series, Itanium H series,
        Nonstop SQL/MP, or SQL/MX release 2 or later
        TCP/IP.
        An HP LaserJet printer (PCL 5 or 6) or compatible printer
           or
        A PostScript level 2 compatible printer.

2   Installation
    ============
    MPrint consists of client components, which are installed
    on your PC, and server components which are installed on an
    HP NSK system.

    To install MPrint, run either the full release setup program,
    or the client setup program.  You will be prompted to supply a
    setup password which is available by sending an email to sales@merlon.com.

    Once Setup has finished, run the MPRINT.EXE client program.
    A wizard will help you complete the client configuration, and the
    installation and configuration of the server components.

    NOTES:
    a)  It is recommended that you do not install the MPrint client
        program in the same directory as a previous version.  If you
        choose to do so, use Add / Remove programs to uninstall
        the previous version.

    b)  To install the NonStop SQL/MX driver module you must have
        permission to write to the /usr/tandem/sqlmx/USERMODULES
        directory.  To re-install, you also need permission to
        remove the existing module file (MERLON.SQLDX.VER_1).

3   Configuration Information.
    ==========================
    In order to configure MPrint, you will need to know the following:

    a   The name of a TCP/IP process running on the NSK system that can be
        used to connect from your PC.  The default is $ZTC0, you may use
        a different value on your system.  If Parallel TCPIP is installed
        on your system, use the name of a TCPSAM process instead of a TCP/IP
        process.  Check with your system administrator.

    b   The TCP/IP address used by this TCP/IP (or TCPSAM) process,
        for example 192.168.1.2

    c   For MPress servers, you will need one port number for the MERLON LISTEN process.
  
        Note that the port number you choose must not be used by any other
        applications that share the same TCP/IP process with MPress.Port numbers 
	that are less than 1024 are reserved for special services like FTP and TELNET.  
	Therefore, you must use a port number greater than 1023.
        (To find out which port numbers are in use, use the
        SCF STATUS PROCESS command for the TCP/IP process you plan to use).

4. What is MPrint
==============================================================================
	
	MPrint is an MPRESS utility program that allows a user to access reports that have been 
	published to the MPRESS Publication Data Base and preview and/or print them.

	The report designer publishes the report and specifies an accessor id which gives access 
	to a user, group, or all.
	
	Only those reports that the user may read are displayed in his MPrint.
