Exceed for Windows 95:

In order to run Exceed, you must also install the Key Server software. To do this:

  1. You must be logged into the network!
  2. Click on Start --> Run.
  3. Type \\acfiles\pcnfs and click on OK.
  4. In the \\acfiles\pcnfs window you will see "keyaccess" folder. Open it. Copy the four files that you see in your "C:\windows" directory.
  5. Next, there is a folder labeled "old" inside the "keyaccess" folder. Open this folder and copy the contents of it into your "C:\windows" directory as well.

Now to Install Exceed:

  1. With \\acfiles\pcnfs still open, open the "exceed95" folder.
  2. Next, open "userins".
  3. Double click on the"setup" icon inside of the userins folder, NOT setup2. When the setup programs starts, choose OK.
  4. Leave the home directory set to the default.
  5. Change the user directory to C:\exceed95\user.
  6. If you are asked if you want to install Hummingbird TCP/IP, Hummingbird NFS, and NFS for Microsoft TCP/IP, deselect all of them. That is, make sure that none of them are checked. (You may not be asked to do this.)
  7. If you are asked to choose a transport interface, choose Windows Socket API. (Again, you may not be asked to do this.)
  8. Make sure that the keyboard file is us.kbf (this should be the default).
  9. Choose skip when asked to choose a Xconfig Password.
  10. You may also be asked to tune the xserver client. Skip this option as well.
  11. Choose yes to create the program group Exceed.

  1. You must be logged into the network!
  2. Click on Start --> Exceed --> Exceed (You may be asked to supply a keyserver password. This will be your AC password. Then Exceed should start running in the background.
