PRODUCT : Quattro Pro NUMBER : 588 VERSION : 1.0 OS : PC DOS DATE : March 4, 1991 PAGE : 1/6 TITLE : Installing Quattro Pro version 1.01 on a Novell Network Run the INSTALL program as normal. Make sure to specify the correct drive and/or directory where Quattro Pro will be installed on the network (eg. P:\DOSAPP\QPRO). After the program has been installed on the system and INSTALL displays the following prompt: ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³The QUATTRO PRO files have now been installed on³ ³your hard disk.

The first prompt will allow you to exit the install program by pressing Ctrl-X: * * * ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ ENTER - Continue F2 - Change Option Ctrl-X - Quit ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ Press Ctrl-X to Exit the install program. At this time, there is no need to set system parameters (monitor, graphics quality, printer, etc.). This will leave the resource files (.RF files) at the shipping defaults. Each user will specify his/her own defaults once they get into the program. Additional subdirectories must be created for each user that will need access to Quattro Pro through the network. The user subdirectories can be located on the network, or on the user's local hard drive. In each user's subdirectory, copy the .MU (menu) file associated with the menu tree that user will use. PRODUCT : Quattro Pro NUMBER : 588 VERSION : 1.0 OS : PC DOS DATE : March 4, 1991 PAGE : 2/6 TITLE : Installing Quattro Pro version 1.01 on a Novell Network Along with the .MU file, a .RF (resource) file needs to be copied to each user's subdirectory. See the table below for the appropriate set of .MU/.RF files: ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍËÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍËÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º Menu Tree º .MU º .RF º ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÎÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÎÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ ºQuattro Pro³ QUATTRO.MU ³ RSC.RF º ÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĶ ºQuattro ³ Q1.MU ³ RSC.RF º ÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĶ º123 ³ 123.MU ³ 123.RF º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÏÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÏÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ After the appropriate .MU and .RF files have been copied to each user's subdirectory, create a resource directory (eg. \DOSAPP\QPRO\RESC) where backup copies of the .MU and .RF files can be stored. Copy all .MU and .RF files into the resource directory. After the .MU and .RF files have been safely stored in the resource directory, delete them from the QPro directory. Use the files in the resource directory for adding additional users to access Quattro Pro. Since each user will generate their own fonts, a separate FONTS directory may help to keep things organized. However, this subdirectory is not mandatory. If Quattro Pro does not find this subdirectory, it will look for and generate fonts in the user's directory. See the figure below for an example of the directory structure for installing Quattro Pro on a network: P:\ ÄÄ¿ ÀÄÄÄÄ DOSAPP ÀÄÄÄÄ QPRO ³ ÃÄÄÄÄ RESC ³ ÃÄÄÄ USER1 ³ ÀÄÄÄ FONTS ³ PRODUCT : Quattro Pro NUMBER : 588 VERSION : 1.0 OS : PC DOS DATE : March 4, 1991 PAGE : 3/6 TITLE : Installing Quattro Pro version 1.01 on a Novell Network ÃÄÄÄ USER2 ³ ÀÄÄÄ FONTS ³ ÀÄÄÄ USER3 ÀÄÄÄ FONTS Additional directories can be set up for access by only specific groups of individuals as a shared file directory. These directories are set up by the network administrator. NOTE: During installation, Quattro Pro copies sample (*.W??) and clip-art (*.CLP) files to the program directory. You may wish to copy these files to a shared data directory and/or delete them from the program directory. To run Quattro Pro from a network, follow the steps outlined below: o Create a network SEARCH drive for the Quattro Pro directory. o Issue the DOS command 'SHARE'. This allows more than one user to access the data files. o Change to the drive and/or directory where the user has his/her resource files (CD DOSAPP\QPRO\USER1, for example). o Type Q, then press [ENTER]. BATCH FILE Create a batch file for each user. This file can be stored on the user's local drive or within their user directory on the network. For example: MAP INSERT S1:=CECIL/APPS:QPRO SHARE P: CD \QPRO\USER1 Q MAP DEL S1: C: PRODUCT : Quattro Pro NUMBER : 588 VERSION : 1.0 OS : PC DOS DATE : March 4, 1991 PAGE : 4/6 TITLE : Installing Quattro Pro version 1.01 on a Novell Network NOTE: In this example batch file, a search drive is created and appended to the beginning of the user's path. Upon exiting QPRO, the drive is deleted. This will alleviate the possibility of creating multiple search drives every time the batch file is executed. The SEARCH statement can be added to the user's login script for the network through Novell's SYSCON utility. By doing so, the SEARCH commands within the example batch file can be omitted. Defining the SEARCH directory in the user's login script is the preferred method. NETWORK RIGHTS The following list of directories shows the suggested rights each user should have for each of the directories on the network: QPRO (program system directory) -> READ, OPEN, WRITE, SEARCH USER# (user resource directory) -> All except PARENTAL FONTS (user font directory) -> All except PARENTAL DATA (shared data directory) -> All except PARENTAL NOTE: Due to Quattro Pro's download feature for HP Laserjet series printers, the user's must have WRITE rights to the \QPRO directory. If HP Laserjet printers are not being used on the network, the user's do not need this right. Otherwise, provide them with WRITE rights, assign a READ-ONLY attribute to all files in the \QPRO directory (ATTRIB +R *.*), and assign the READ/WRITE attribute to the file LASERJET.BGI (ATTRIB -R LASERJET.BGI). If it is not possible to provide the user's with WRITE access to the \QPRO directory, place the command SET DOWNLOAD=N in the user's batch file for executing Quattro Pro. This will disable Quattro Pro's download feature. In this mode, all graphics and final quality printing will be bitmapped to the printer. USER DEFAULTS The first time each user accesses the program, they will set their own default options. The following options should be set by each user: PRODUCT : Quattro Pro NUMBER : 588 VERSION : 1.0 OS : PC DOS DATE : March 4, 1991 PAGE : 5/6 TITLE : Installing Quattro Pro version 1.01 on a Novell Network o This defines the user's default data directory. o This defines the user's display type. Quattro Pro will normally autodetect the screen type. However, by designating a specific screen type, load time can be increased. o This option defines a default color palette. In most cases, setting this option is not necessary unless you have a special display/monitor setup (eg. VGA/Monochrome). o <1st/2nd Printer> The user can define up to two unique printers to use and save them as defaults. o If the users will be accessing Paradox files from the network, this option must be defined. o This will save all the user defaults to their resource file. PRINTING To configure the network for printing Quattro Pro graphics (Graphs and Final Quality output), make sure the following options are set for each user's default configuration found in Novell's PRINTCON: File contents: Byte stream Auto endcap: Yes PRODUCT : Quattro Pro NUMBER : 588 VERSION : 1.0 OS : PC DOS DATE : March 4, 1991 PAGE : 6/6 TITLE : Installing Quattro Pro version 1.01 on a Novell Network If you encounter extraneous blank pages before or after printing to a network printer, use device Parallel 1 or Parallel 2. Do not use the logical device options LPT1 or LPT2. This device option is set through: <1st/2nd Printer> The Parallel 1 device is equivalent to LPT1 and Parallel 2 is equivalent to LPT2. If your network printers are installed using LPT3, LPT4, or LPT5, you must redefine these options for LPT1 or LPT2 and use Parallel 1 or Parallel 2 Device options within QUATTRO PRO.
