- It is strongly advisable to install Sedt in its own subdirectory.
- This makes organization of the files and future updates much
- easier. To create a subdirectory under OS/2 use the MD command.
- For example
-
- MD C:\SEDT
-
- will create a directory calles SEDT on drive C.
-
- Next copy all files from the installation floppy to the
- subdirectory with the COPY command. For example
-
- COPY A:*.* C:\SEDT
-
- Now check that SEDT will run by making the directory containing
- all the files you current working directory. For example
-
- C:
- CD \SEDT
- SEDT
-
- Sedt should fire up and be ready to accept commands.
-
- The next step is to make Sedt runnable from any directory. The
- simplest way to do this is to include the directory containing
- Sedt in your PATH statement in CONFIG.SYS. See your OS/2 manual
- for instructions.
-
- You can speed up initialization if you create the logical name
- SEDT which should contain the directory with the Sedt files.
- This is done with the SET command in CONFIG.SYS. For example
-
- SET SEDT=C:\SEDT
-
- In a file server environment you may wish to separate the files
- into public, sharable files and user-specific files for
- customization and data files. The environment variable SEDT
- should point at the public directory, which may be read only.
- The logical name PSEDT should point at the users private
- directory, to which there must be write access. Here the user
- can create a private SEDT.CNF file, rulers will be saved here,
- and any other data file created by Sedt will reside here.
-
- Once you have Sedt up and running, you will probably want
- to start customizing it for your preference. By creating a file
- called SEDT.CNF as instructed in SEDTMAN.EDT, section 2.3.1, you
- can increase performance dramatically and also make it behave the
- way you prefer.
