- INSTALLING SUPERCALC 5
-
-
- There are two different methods for installation of SuperCalc 5.
-
- 1) Installing SuperCalc 5 on a network server, using it only at that
- server and not accessing it from a network workstation at all .
-
- Page 1-3 of the SuperCalc User's Guide explains the procedure. Simply
- copy all SuperCalc files from the SuperCalc diskettes to a subdirectory on
- your hard disk. Then you may run SuperCalc on that computer. Attempting
- to run SuperCalc 5 from a network drive on a workstation will produce an
- error which says that you cannot run a stand alone version on a network.
-
- DO NOT RUN THE ACTIVATE PROGRAM AT ALL!!!
-
- 2) Installing SuperCalc 5 on a network server and using it at that server
- as well as from workstations.
-
- Run LANtastic NOS on the workstation and the server. Verify that
- SHARE.EXE has been run. Go immediately to Chapter 5 of the SuperCalc 5
- Reference Manual. Page 5-8 shows the different subdirectories to create
- on the network server. In NET_MGR under "Network Access Information,"
- set up all the shared resources and their ACL's that are listed next to
- NET SHARE for IBM PC NET. The shared resources CALC and KEY will only
- have R. The shared resources CALCADMN AND KEYADMN will have all access
- rights. The passwords for subdirectories do not apply to LANtastic.
-
- Go to the workstation, login to the server and NET USE D: \\HOST\CALC.
- Put the Utility diskette which contains the ACTIVATE program in the
- WORKSTATION'S A: drive. At the D: prompt type A:ACTIVATE. When prompted
- for the path names, enter them exactly as on page 5-9. After these paths
- are entered, it will prompt you for the Product diskettes. Follow the
- prompts and the SuperCalc 5 software will be copied to the server's hard
- disk. After the last Product diskette is installed, it is time to pledge
- your user's to the network.
-
- DO NOT USE THE ACTIVATE PROGRAM AT THE SERVER--Page 5-11 specifically says
- to "Place the SuperCalc Utility diskette in drive A of any workstation on
- the network except the network server."
-
- If you do not have the LANPACK, you will only be able to pledge one user.
- Only one user at a time will be able to use SuperCalc 5. This includes
- the local user. For more than one user at time to use SuperCalc 5, one
- MUST have the LANPACK. This is true even if one has made the .exe and
- .ovl files read-only.
-
- CONCLUSION: SuperCalc 5 installs correctly in conjunction with LANtastic
- NOS. One may follow the installation instructions for IBM PC NET. Simply
- substitute the NET SHARE statements with running NET_MGR, selecting
- "Network Access information" and assigning R to the respective shared
- resources. One must also verify that SHARE.EXE has been installed.
