Chapter 8 - Management Tools describes the general-purpose management tools
which can be used to configure and manage your Print Server. All of these programs
require a version of Microsoft Windows. The BiAdmin program, which requires
Windows 95 or Windows NT, allows access to ALL settings, not just those
important in the AppleTalk environment.

appropriate folder on your hard disk.
