PATHS TO DR DOS CONFIGURATION FILES ON NETWORKS

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".
