The ETU Compatibility Diskette: For Non-ES32 Emulation Products
When ETU was originally sold, there was a compatibility disk that shipped
with the product to allow DOS products to run with it. Very few PC run in
DOS mode anymore, so that is no longer included with this product,
however it is available on our website at http://www.nlynx.com/html/tb-
etu36.htm. To use this program, called IBMTRAN, you would install it on
the IBM PC from which you run ETU. Each time you run ETU, you would load
IBMTRAN into the PC's memory.
Who Could Use IBMTRAN?
You may need to use IBMTRAN if your emulation software is not one of the
following Andrew products: 3XTwin, 3XPlus, 3XPlus-X.25, 3XMate, 3XTwin-
Laptop, 3XMate-Laptop, Multi-Twin, or MacTwin. Additionally products in
the NLynx Systems ES/95 family do not need it, and products in the NLynx
Technologies ES32 family do not need it.
NOTE: IBMTRAN runs only under DOS and isn't intended for use with
Windows, OS/2, UNIX, or the Apple Mac.
Some emulation products, such as protocol converters, have their own ETU
interface programs. If your emulation package includes a program
specified as an interface to ETU, you should use that program instead of
IBMTRAN.EXE.
If you attempt an ETU file transfer and you receive one of the following
messages, you may need to use IBMTRAN:
Device not a PC or emulator loaded incorrectly.
Attached workstation is not a PC.
Copying IBMTRAN To Your Hard Drive
If you decide you need the compatibility program, copy it from the
ETU Compatibility diskette (enclosed with ETU) to the hard disk
subdirectory (or, if applicable, to the floppy diskette) that contains
the emulation programs.
1. On your PC, make the directory with your emulation programs the
current directory.
2. Insert the IBMTRAN diskette in the diskette drive, and copy it to the
hard drive.
If your floppy drive is a:, enter:
copy a:*.*
Some emulation programs have a separate Application Program Interface
(API) program. If your emulator is in this category, make sure that API
is running after you load your emulation program and before you run ETU,
or it will not be compatible with ETU.
If your emulation program is running, and IBMTRAN displays the message
