WATCHIT*   "Make your server serve"

       *Copyright (c) 1994,96 Client server Networking Inc

  WATCHIT is a collection of programs to monitor LAN Server
  performance. Data is collected for analysis to provide the
  information necessary to maintain performance and capacity.

  This is the initial phase of the Beta. The code being distributed will
  provide data collection, dynamic and statistical displays. The analysis
  programs will follow shortly.

  To assist us in our final test of the analysis programs we would appreciate
  a copy of some of your data. The data for a collection period is a two
  file pair. These files are xxx.DTL and xxx.SUM. XXX is the month/day and
  minutes from midnight of the collection.

  You may reproduce and give this beta to anyone who shows an interest.

  You may not reverse engineer this beta or use it in a productive
  or profitable manner.

  Client Server Networking reserves the right to withdraw or market 
  WATCHIT PLUS at its discretion and time table.

          ****  WHAT IS WATCHIT PLUS *****

  WATCHIT PLUS automates collection of IBM LAN SERVER capacity and
  performance statistics. Collection may be automated or manually preformed
  on your desktop. 

  WATCHIT graphs mean response, sessions, shares, bytes transferred
  while performing data collection.

  Analysis programs ( not included in this phase of the beta ) will
  graph mean response, sessions, shares, bytes transferred,print jobs, big 
  buffer and request buffer allocations. The graphs will direct you to the 
  detail information needed to improve performance and expand capacity. 
  IBMLAN.INI parameters will be compared to the collected statistics for
  key parameters. Session analysis provides information to determine the
  number of connections required and file opens.  Analyze ALIAS access.
  Statistical data is exportable for use in your favorite spreadsheet or 
  database. Graphs and reports may be printed for future reference.

                Some WATCHIT PLUS Enhancements include:

  1. Data collection performance is substantially improved.
  2. A single machine will provide for the collection of all your servers.
  3. All the servers in the domain may be monitored.
  4. While monitoring servers you may select to display:
      a. a continually updated graph of Mean response, Sessions,
        Shares and traffic.
      b. Current sessions.
      c. Current shares in use.
   5. LAN SERVER 3.0 and 4.0 and Warp are supported.
