Domino Network File Store (DNFS), which provides the ability to use Domino as a file server, was first included in the \APPS directory on the R5.0.5 Domino CD. DNFS R1.2 now ships in the \APPS directory on the R5.0.7 Domino CD. DNFS provides Domino customers secure, replicated, and indexed collaborative repository for productivity files via standard Windows Networking. DNFS is a Domino server add-in task that enables users to read files from and save files to Domino databases from any Windows application. With DNFS, files stored in a Domino databases are presented to users in a traditional folder/file metaphor, and are accessed through an application's Open/Save dialog boxes, Windows Explorer, or any Windows file system dialog box.

Domino Network File Store blurs the boundaries between the Windows file management system and Domino servers. Users simply map a drive to a Domino server, similar to mapping a drive to a network server, and Domino databases, folders, and documents display in the familiar tree structure within existing Windows file management controls. If mapping a network drive is something that is unfamiliar to users, this can easily be done for them by a network administrator or through a logon script.

DNFS enables users to work within a natural interface. As users perform routine file operations such as Open, Save, Delete, Rename, etc. from within any Windows application DNFS seamlessly passing of files into and out of Domino/Notes applications. Benefits include:

Lotus ESB is a basic scripting application server that can execute LotusScript applications invoked by remote clients (Notes, Win32 and/or web). ESB is used as an alternative to Domino's agent manager task when a large volume of concurrent clients need to be supported. It is especially useful for Domino enterprise integration applications where both thread pooling to the ESB server and connection pooling to the backend system (like DB2 or SAP) can provide very high throughput. ESB is comprised of two components, a powerful Runtime component and a productive IDE ( called Developer).

The ESB Client Enabler, included on the Notes and Domino Designer CD-ROMs, are the lightweight files which need to be installed on the Notes client machine in order to establish communication to the ESB Runtime. There is no GUI for the Client Enabler and requires no configuration. There are sample files included in the installation with detailed descriptions of how the files are used.
Notes about ESB Installation:


Further information about the Client Enabler files is available in the Readme.txt file on the Notes and Domino Designer CD-ROMs in the App\ESB\w32intel directory, Lotus ESB User's manual which is available when you install either the Runtime or Developer and IBM Redbook #SG-245405.

Monotype WorldTypeTM fonts

Monotype WorldType fonts support Unicode-based display of multilingual text. Five different fonts are available, each tuned to a different multilingual environment. Subsetting the fonts-based character set usage significantly reduces the size of a font, thus improving performance. Information about Monotype's Unicode fonts can be found at http://www.monotype.com.

The following fonts are included in a self extracting file located in the \APPS\FONTS directory:


These fonts are designed for Windows use only. Execute the self extracting file FONTS.EXE in the \APPS\FONTS directory on the CD-ROM to decompress the contents to a temporary directory on your hard drive. The fonts can then be installed using the normal operating system procedure for installing fonts:
Once a font has been installed, you need to enable Unicode display in your Notes User Preferences (Basics panel, Additional Options). You may also want to make a WorldType font your default Multilingual Font in Notes (open the User Preferences Basics panel and set the default Multilingual font in the Default Fonts dialog).
