Introduction
------------
This program runs in console mode, at the Windows command prompt.
Using the Telnet protocol in a special way, it allows the user to
send commands to remote machines (hosts, hubs, routers, switches,...).
So it can be used in batch, command files, etc.
A script file (SCR extension) contains the instructions to establish the 
connection and the commands to be remotely executed.
It has been tested under Windows NT to access various hubs,
routers and hosts.

Requirements
------------
A x86 processor with Windows NT/95.

List of files
-------------
The package includes the following files:
   - README.1ST: a readme file to read before to begin with the
                 installation
   - README.TXT: this file
   - LICENSE.TXT: the license agreement
   - REGISTER.TXT: contains the information to register
   - REMCMD.EXE: the program file
   - SETUP.EXE: the setup program file
   - SAMPLE.SCR: a sample script file

Installation
------------
You can put the files in any directory. The only limitation is for
running setup: you have to put SETUP.EXE and REMCMD.EXE in the SAME
directory.
Simply run setup.exe. It will ask you for a registration key; leave
the field to 0 for demo purpose.
After a trial period of 30 days, the software will be disabled and
you will have to register to continue using it (see register.txt).

Upon registration
-----------------
Simply run setup.exe again and enter your registration key.

Usage
-----
remcmd scriptfile

Script file
-----------
The different parameters and commands needed by the program are contained
in a script file (the filetype i.e. the file extension must be SCR) which
is passed as the first parameter to the program.


The syntax of the script file is as follow:
   - comment lines begin with a #

The following keywords are recognized:
   - host=<hostname|ip address> indicates the host to connect to
   - login=<[userid]/password> gives the logon parameters to transmit
           (a password must at least be given)
   - logfile=<[disk][path][filename]> gives the name of an eventual
     log file (logfile= means return the output to stdout)

Hereafter is an example of a script:

# comment
host=hub1
login=user/password
logfile=c:\log\logfile.txt
show counter port all
logout
logfile=
host=chicago
login=mozart/beethoven
ls -l
logout

The file 'sample.scr' also provides you a sample script file.
