SERVER.COM

     Server program is used to manage server resource redirection and to
organize the network printer queue. If you start Server.com, there is no
need to load Redir.com, because Server.com includes both Lan Server and Lan
Redirector programs.

Syntax: SERVER.com machine_name [/RTO=XX][/STO=XX][/NAMES=XX]
        [ADAPTERS=X][/IOBUFFER=XXXXX][/FILES=XXX][/REBOOT][/EMS][/XMS]


Parameters:

MACHINE_NAME - a unique name in the network no longer than 16 bytes.
               With this name a work station is registered in the network.
               It is an obligatory parameter.
RTO          - RECEIVE Netbios command time-out, by the half-second.
               Optional parameter. By default, RTO=10 (5 sec).
STO          - SEND Netbios command time-out. Default walue is 10 (5 sec).
               Time-out is a period of time after which the data transfer
               over the network stops, with corresponding error message.

NAMES        - Optional parameter. Sets a number of servers and work
               stations which can be logged simultaneously. Its purpose is
               not the same as for the NAMES parameter used in REDIR command
               for work stations.  The server may not only log to other
               names with the NET LOGIN command, but may also be used by
               work stations and servers as a host server. That is why here
               the NAMES parameter should account not only loggings with
               other servers, but also those which are established by other
               work stations or servers with this host server.

  That is, if your PC is a server and 3 other network users want
  to connect to you, the NAMES parameter should be increased by 3.
  NAMES parameter may be calculated with the following formula:
  NAMES=(N of REMOTE_SERVERS + N of REMOTE_CLIENTS)
  By default, NAMES=3.

ADAPTERS=1   - Optional parameter. Permits the use of NETBIOS driver with
               adapter number 1, which allows using two-segment network
               topology.  That is, first NETBIOS driver started with
               adapter 0 manages the first lancard, while the second
               NETBIOS driver started with adapter 1 oversees the second
               lancard logged to another network. By default, ADAPTERS=0,
               i.e. only one network segment is supported.
IOBUFFER     - sets buffer size for file read/write operations in bytes.
               Its value may range from 512 to 32768 bytes. Since its
               value influences the speed of the server, the more it is,
               the faster files will be read in the network. By default,
               IOBUFFER=32768 bytes.
FILES        - sets maximum number of server's files simultaneously open
               for the network use. While running programs which open
               large number of files (databases) an error TOO MANY OPEN
               FILES may occur (DOS ERROR No.4). In this case you should
               increase the parameter's value.
               By default, FILES=40.

REBOOT       - Optional parameter. Useful for safe computer reboot.
               If you need to reboot the server and you press
               [Ctrl-Alt-Del] a menu appears at the top of the screen:

          C- Cancel reboot   F- Reset system buffers and reboot
                  Ctrl-Alt-Del - reboot right now

  By pressing [C] you cancel reboot. By pressing [F] you will close all
  files open at the moment in the server for network use. It is necessary
  to avoid data loss on the disk (LOST CLUSTERS]. By default, this
  parameter is OFF.

EMS          - Optional parameter. Allows use of EMS memory for internal
               data. Allowed volume of EMS memory - 16 Kb or one page in
               EMS frame. By default, the option is OFF.
XMS          - Optional parameter. Provides XMS memory to locate internal
               data.  Allowed memory space - 4Kb. By default, this option
               is OFF.

     Thus, the optimum start of Server.com is the following:

a) for minimum memory use on a server:
   SERVER SERVERNAME /IOBUFFER=512 /XMS /NAMES=4
b) for maximum server performance:
   SERVER SERVERNAME /IOBUFFER=32768 /XMS /NAMES=4
