PATHS TO DR DOS CONFIGURATION FILES ON NETWORKS

Document 1404

Description:

If paths are being lost over the network, it is likely that the

files:

*.INI

*.CFG

are being stored in the wrong place.

Use: DR DOS SETUP

"System Parameters" menu

Sub menu #6

to point configuration and information files to the users home

directory.

Example:

ViewMax and other files, have .ini (information) files. If you

load these utilities from a server (Z::)

z::viewmax

DR DOS will look for the VIEWMAX.INI file on the path set by

the local SETUP, System Parameter menu, sub menu number 6. The

default may not work on a network. Usually the network is

setup so that you have a special "user path" that will allow you

to write files, remember the Network knows who you are and what

privileges you have. That "user path" is the one to put the

preferences and information files.

Example:

z:\netusers\Boris\

Your network system administrator will know the name of your

special "user path".
