TITLE : Using the Personal Programmer on a Local Hard Drive
to Design a Single User Network Application
The Personal Programmer was designed, and is primarily intended
for, program prototyping and design. As mentioned in Chapter 1
of the Personal Programmer Guide, applications created with the
Personal Programmer can run on a network; however, they are not
optimized for network use. Applications developed in the
Personal Programmer DO NOT SUPPORT MULTIUSER NETWORK
APPLICATIONS. The information below provides guidelines in
creating a single user application which can be run from a
network.
The Personal Programmer requires a total of 580K free to run, we
recommend insuring that you have at least 590K of RAM memory
prior to running PPROG. With these memory requirements, it is
normally not feasible to have network drivers loaded when working
in PPROG. You can easily check available memory by running the
DOS program CHKDSK to determine the available bytes free.
PPROG cannot be run from the network. Instead, install and run
PPROG on a stand alone machine, then after the application is
complete, transfer it to the network server. The following steps
will allow you to install PPROG on a local hard disk of a node on
the network:
1. While linked to the network server, create a Paradox
directory on the local hard disk.
2. Copy all the files from the Paradox directory on the
network server to the local Paradox directory.
3. Install PPROG on the local hard disk.
4. Set the node to run in stand alone mode. (Eliminate all
network drivers and TSR's.)
5. Log to the new Paradox\PPROG directory and type PPROG to
make sure it has been installed correctly.
6. Once you have verified that PPROG is OK, you can delete
all the files from the Paradox directory. They only need
to be present when installing PPROG.
7. Build your application using the local hard disk.

8. Transfer the completed application to the network server.
9. In interactive Paradox, run the {Application Name}lib.sc
script to rebuild the libraries in the new directory.
a. From the Paradox Main Menu, select Tools | More |
Directory
b. Type in the path name of the directory where your
PPROG application resides. Press <Enter>, then
select OK.
c. From the Paradox Main Menu, select Scripts | Play
d. Type in the library script name. This will be the
name of your application followed by the letters
"lib". For example, if your application name is
"Video", type in the script named "Videolib".
