Tutor - Running Tutor From A Novell Network |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: While trying to running Tutor on a network, the users are taken back to DOS. The users have all rights in the directories where they start Tutor. Solutions: The purpose of the following document is to give Novell network administrators suggestions for running Tutor from a network file server. In this example, a Novell 2.15 server is used. The date of TUTOR.COM is 05/31/91. In this example it is assumed that a Novell Netware server is installed and running, and WordPerfect 5.1 is correctly installed somewhere on that server. It is also assumed that there is a subdirectory of the program directory where all the files associated with Tutor have been installed (in many cases this directory is called LEARN or TUTOR). In this example TUTOR is used as the directory. The steps outlined below will provide a way for five users to run the Tutor simultaneously: 1. Create five users TU1, TU2, TU3, TU4, TU5. Make these users members of a group called TUTOR. Create a user directory for each user name somewhere on the server (i.e., U:\USERS\TU1, etc.). A login script must be created for each user with the following information: MAP DISPLAY OFF MAP U:=SERVER/VOLUME:USERS\%LOGIN_NAME MAP INS S16:=SERVER/VOLUME:PUBLIC MAP INS S16:=SERVER/VOLUME:APPS\WP MAP INS S16:=SERVER/VOLUME:APPS\WP\TUTOR DOS SET WPC="/D-U:/PF-U:/U-%LOGIN_NAME" 2. The group TUTOR must have all rights in the TUTOR directory (where all the files associated with the Tutor are kept), the SET directory (where the personal *.SET files are created and stored), and in the personal user directories (U:\USERS\TU2). The users must have Read, Open, and Search rights in the program directory (where the WP.EXE file is kept). 3. The *.WKB and *.TUT files in the Tutor directory must be flagged Shareable Read-Only 4. A valid and correct environment file must be created and be in the WordPerfect program directory. The contents of a valid environment file are: /NT=1 /PS=F:\APPS\WPSET This information should appear on separate lines. The drive letter in the .ENV file should be a logical drive letter rather than a search drive. 5. When a user wants to run Tutor, they should log in as TU1, etc. The login script will map WordPerfect, Tutor and public directories as search drives. The user then can execute Tutor from anywhere simply by typing TUTOR.COM. 6. What happens next: The temporary files that are created when WP is executed are redirected to the user's home directory. For example, if a user logs in as TU1, the temporary files are opened and stored in the U:\USERS\TU1 directory. The WPTU1}.SET file is opened and stored in the F:\APPS\WP\WPSET directory. The file that Tutor uses to mark completed lessons is stored in the TUTOR directory. When a user completes a lesson, this information is stored in a file called MARKS.WP; it will not be able to ascertain which user has completed what lesson. This may be added in future releases of Tutor. 7. Finishing Up: When the user is finished with a lesson or wants to leave the lesson, they can choose the exit option from the main screen. This will close the temporary files, write to the MARKS.WP file and exit the user back to the DOS prompt. If more users wish to execute Tutor simultaneously, then increase the number of users that belong to the Tutor group. |
