---+ How to share HP3000 !LaserROM manuals on the network

The !LaserRom CD manual set can be easily set up to be shared over a PC network, including Novell and Windows for Workgroups networks. Under Windows for Workgroups the PC containing the CD drive merely needs to make the CD drive shareable (using the Windows File Manager) - just like any disc drive or directory. You will have to add a "/S" to the MSCDEX line placed in your autoexec.bat file when you installed the CD (this lets other systems share the drive). 

On the other PCs you wish to access !LaserRom from, merely connect the network drive (using Windows File Manager), making sure to set the box "reconnect at startup" so the drive will be available next time you need to access it. Move to the "pcinstal" directory on the CD in File Manager and launch (double click on) "setup.exe". The software will install on your PC and you'll be able to launch the !LaserRom application whenever you need it. 

Beware of user license restrictions on concurrent users of the !LaserRom software though.
