The first section tells how to set up Schedule+ 1.0 when Microsoft Windows and Schedule+ are run entirely from the network. The second section tells how to set up Schedule+ 1.0 when Windows is run locally and Schedule+ 1.0 is run from the network. NOTE: Schedule+ version 1.0 was not designed to be run directly from the network. Because the file I/O that normally occurs on the local workstation is being handled by the network, running Schedule+ from the network may decrease Schedule+'s performance. RUNNING WINDOWS AND SCHEDULE+ FROM THE NETWORK ============================================== Definitions ----------- - refers to the shared location of the network installation of Windows. - refers to a temporary directory for a temporary installation of Windows. - refers to the user's network directory where the user stores his or her own Windows files (this will include the *.INI and *.GRP files). INSTALLATION STEPS ------------------ To set up the Schedule+ 1.0 shared files 1. Create the directory on the server or a local workstation, and run "setup /n" (without the quotation marks) from the directory to create a new installation of Windows in the directory. 2. Run Windows from Use the Windows File Manager to start Setup by double-clicking SETUP.EXE on the Schedule+ Program Setup Disk #2. During setup: a. Choose Custom Setup. b. When Setup prompts for the Schedule+ directory, type (without the brackets) as the location. For example, type "L:\WINDOWS" (without the quotation marks) if this is the location of the network version of Windows. c. When Setup asks if you want to install the Schedule+ Reminder program to load automatically, choose the No button. d. When Setup is complete and it asks if you want to Run Schedule+, Run Demos, or Exit To Windows, choose Exit To Windows. This process will install all the Schedule+ for Windows program files in the same directory as Windows and create a clean SCHDPLUS.INI file. 3. Set all files in to Read-Only. For Novell(R) networks, set the files to Shareable and Read-Only. 4. Copy SCHDPLUS.INI from to . 5. Remove (including all files and the directory). To set up a user for Schedule+ 1.0 1. Copy SCHDPLUS.INI from to . 2. In a group in the Windows Program Manager create a Microsoft Schedule+ 1.0 icon with the following properties: Description: Microsoft Schedule+ Command Line: \SCHDPLUS.EXE Working Directory: Shortcut Key: None Run Minimized Not checked 3. Modify each user's WIN.INI file to include the following setting: [Sounds] SchdplusReminder=\MSREMIND.WAV,Schedule+ Reminders 4. If a user wants to be automatically reminded of scheduling messages, create an icon in the Startup group to start the file MSREMIND.EXE. 5. Verify that the directory is in the MS-DOS search path for each user. RUNNING WINDOWS LOCALLY AND SCHEDULE+ FROM THE NETWORK ====================================================== Definitions ----------- - refers to an individual user's locally installed Windows directory. - refers to the Microsoft Schedule+ directory on the network server. INSTALLATION STEPS ------------------ To set up the Schedule+ 1.0 shared files and the first user 1. Run Windows from the first user's workstation. Use the Windows File Manager to start Setup by double-clicking SETUP.EXE on the Schedule+ Program Setup Disk #2. During setup: a. Choose Custom Setup. b. When Setup prompts for the Schedule+ directory, type (without the brackets) as the location. For example, type "L:\SCHEDULE" (without the quotation marks) if this is the location of the network-shared copy of Schedule+. c. When Setup asks if you want to install the Schedule+ Reminder program to load automatically, choose the No button. d. When Setup is complete and it asks if you want to Run Schedule+, Run Demos, or Exit To Windows, choose Exit To Windows. This process will install all the Schedule+ program files and create a clean SCHDPLUS.INI file. 2. Copy the following files from the first user's workstation to : \SCHDPLUS.INI \WINHELP.EXE \SYSTEM\SHELL.DLL \SYSTEM\COMMDLG.DLL (Schedule+-specific DLL files:) \SYSTEM\NVCONN.DLL \SYSTEM\TRNSCHED.DLL \SYSTEM\PABNSP.DLL \SYSTEM\MAILMGR.DLL \SYSTEM\MAILSPL.EXE \SYSTEM\DEMILAYR.DLL \SYSTEM\AB.DLL \SYSTEM\STORE.DLL \SYSTEM\FRAMEWRK.DLL \SYSTEM\MSSFS.DLL 3. Remove all the above "Schedule+-specific DLL files" from \SYSTEM. To set up additional users for Schedule+ 1.0 1. Copy SCHDPLUS.INI from to . 2. In a group in the Windows Program Manager create a Microsoft Schedule+ 1.0 icon with the following properties: Description: Microsoft Schedule+ Command Line: \SCHDPLUS.EXE Working Directory: Shortcut Key: None Run Minimized Not checked 3. Modify each user's WIN.INI file to include the following setting: [Sounds] SchdplusReminder=\MSREMIND.WAV,Schedule+ Reminders 4. If a user wants to be automatically reminded of scheduling messages, create an icon in the Startup group to start the file MSREMIND.EXE. 5. Place the directory in the MS-DOS search path for each user. NOTE: If you are using Windows version 3.0, you must replace the following file in your directory with the copy found in the directory for the Schedule+ Help to operate properly: WINHELP.EXE Windows 3.1 Help engine
