- databases as optional installation items.

- Test Equipment Configuration
- The following machines were used for Q&A testing. All machines use Artisoft

- Product Installation Notes
- Installation of Q&A on a network server is easily achieved via the program
- provided by Symantec. After the basic software is installed, installation of a
- Q&A LAN Pack is required to enable LAN operation and allow multiple users to
- execute Q&A simultaneously. Once it is completely installed on the server, all
- that is required is for the users to log in to that server, redirect an
- available drive, change to the Q&A directory on that drive, and start the
- program by typing QA at the DOS prompt. If installation has been correctly
- completed, the message "There are X current users out of Y permitted by your
- license" will appear toward the bottom of the initial menu screen (X and Y will
- vary according to the number of users currently in Q&A and how many users the
- LAN installation supports, respectively).
