Operating
System

IMPORTANT!!

Newpoint Compass operates on the Windows NT
(4.0+) platform exclusively. Windows NT Server or
Workstation must be installed on your PC before you
install Newpoint Compass. Networking functionality
must be present, even if you plan to use Newpoint
Compass on a single, stand-alone system.

File
System

IMPORTANT!!

Compass should be installed over an NTFS file
system. The FAT32 file system can not provide as
secure an installation as the NTFS file system.

Network
Protocol

IMPORTANT!!

TCP/IP must be resident on the system to which you
are loading Compass. If the installation process can
not detect this protocol, the process is halted and a
pop-up window reports the problem. Refer to
Windows NT documentation for instructions to load
TCP/IP to your machine.
