- You will find most about it in Appendix A in the Installation Guide. The
- program ConfEdit.EXE will let you edit the configuration file while
- displaying help about the option you are currently editing. Very nice.
-
- Make sure the environment variable PCTCP points to the configuration file
- before you run anything. If you have the SetPath program ( on csus.edu ), run
- it with parameters Z:\;N:\PCTCP;+ PCTCP=C:\VINES\PCTCP.INI to add the PCTCP
- directory to the path, put Z:\Mail.EXE before PCTCP's Mail.EXE in the path,
- and set the environment variable. Run SetPath -N:\PCTCP PCTCP= when finished
- with PCTCP. Quite nice.
-
- You still have to run EBanyan or IBanyan, but at least administrators won't
- have to mess around with everybodys config.sys files any more. If they want
- to, it's still possible to do it the old way. Rather nice.
-
- If you used the installation program, you should have a configuration file
- suitable for a Banyan network, named PCTCP.INI. If not, then at least make
- sure you have the section [PCTCP IBANYAN] with the option bserver=servername,
- where servername is the name of a server with the TCP/IP routing option. You
- don't need a default gateway if you use IBanyan, but it won't hurt either in
- case you use IBanyan and EBanyan alternately. Nice.
-
- I still haven't had a chance to try out continuation files. You will find
- more about this on page A-6 in the appendix. It is not listed with the other
- sections. It should make it easier to have part of the configuration on a
- network. Unfortunately it says whole sections will be searched for, not
- options, which I think makes it impossible to have one option shared on a
- network and another option in the same section on a local disk. Not nice.
