- 2. Installing on a network
- ==========================
-
- DipWriter can be quickly and easily installed on a network by specifying
- a network drive during installation. You can then update each workstation to
- access DipWriter from the network drive. If you wish to use DipWriter on a
- network, it is important purchase a network license of every network
- workstation that installs DipWriter. A network licence can be purchased for
- $400 US for each corporate site.
-
- 3. Current limits
- =================
-
- Currently, only 64 install actions can be stored in each DIPWRITER file.
- You may hop over this limit by stringing multiple DIP files together by
- having a Command exec run each DIP file, in order, one after another.
-
- for example: In command file INSTALL.CMD
- DIPRUN DIP1.dip
- DIPRUN DIP2.dip
- .

- 4. Planned Enhancements
- ========================
-
- The following enhancements are currently being worked on:
-
- 1.) Generate rexx code install procedure. This replaces the DIPRUN
- and the DIP file with a single REXX command exec.
-
- 2.) Updates to the Config.sys
-
-
- 6. Installation
- ===============
-
- 1) Run PKUNZIP to unpack the zip files.
-
- 2) Please run the INSTALL.CMD command and enter the directory and disk name
