Compatibility Statement
Alpha FOUR v2.1.x (multi-user) from Alpha Software is compatible with
LANtastic NOS v4.x and v5.x.
Product Overview
Alpha Four is a database management system designed to enable non-programmers
to create custom data-processing applications without the need of traditional
programming. Users can develop data-entry screens, custom reports, browse
tables and queries on relational data sets through a menu-driven system.
Product Installation Notes
Install the multi-user version of Alpha Four on a shared directory on the
network. The networking characteristics of Alpha Four are fully documented
in the chapter "Network Issues" found in its Reference Manual. Things that
need special attention are:
1. Alpha Four supports file and record locking through DOS SHARE. You are
required to load the DOS SHARE utility on each workstation on your network.
2. Each Alpha Four user must have a different Private Directory, which
contains user-specific configuration information such as the name of the
last used data set, default settings for color, currency symbol, default
printers, etc., stored in a configuration file called A4.DFL in the Private
Directory.
3. By default, a user's Private Directory is set to the current working
directory from which the user starts Alpha Four. Thus, it is recommended you
invoke Alpha Four from your Private Directory, and put the Alpha Four Program
Directory in your DOS search path.
