INTRODUCTION
------------
As an outside LAN/WAN consultant for one of the Big 6, I constantly see
LAN administrators adding storage to existing fileservers without giving
much thought to the repercussions of these actions. It's an honest mistake
since the algorithms for these additions is buried deep inside one of the
many manuals that come with a network operating system. Suddenly,
performance is decreased and that funny little statistic called CACHE BUFFERS
is somewhere in the low 30's.


SERVER MEMORY CALCULATOR was created to eliminate the need to look through
those manuals looking for that formula. It's very easy to use, and the best
part is that it's free.

SERVER MEMORY CALCULATOR INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------
Installation is quite simple. Copy the files to the following locations:

THREED .VBX ------> \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
VBRUN200.DLL ------> \WINDOWS
SERVMEM2.EXE ------> *** YOUR CHOICE ***

Now, double-click on the Program Group where you wish SERVER MEMORY
CALCULATOR to reside. Select NEW from the FILE pull down menu and enter
the name, and path to the SERVMEM2.EXE file.

----------------------------------
SERVER MEMORY CALCULATOR OPERATION
----------------------------------
Upon execution, SERVER MEMORY CALCULATOR will present you with an opening/
Copyright screen. Click on the OK button to start.

Once the full screen has appeared, you are ready to enter the information
necessary to calculate the necessary memory for your server.

The package allows for entry of up to five (5) NetWare volumes. Simply
enter the amount of disk space in MEGABYTES in the text box. If the
volume in question will have a name space, click on the check box.

NOTE: 1.3GB of storage would be represented as 1300.

Continue on with volume entries until your entire server has been
represented. Once you have completed this, click on the CALCULATE
button, and the total amount of server memory recommended will appear
in the text box.

You may change the values on the fly. Clicking on the CALCULATE button
each time will reveal the memory required for that scenario.

When you are finished, you may click on the EXIT button to quit, or the
MINIMIZE button the store the application on the desktop.
