Hi,
We have installed Kermit on a Novell server and would like our users
to be able to run it from the server (without installing it locally).
This works, but with the configuration files on the server, users cannot
change screen colour, etc. I have written a batch file that copies
dialusr.dat and the *.usr files to the user's home directory on the
server. In the dial.scr file, I have commented out the line " if exist
\v(startup)\%a.usr take \v(startup)\%a.usr " and replaced it with "take
f:\\users\\mcbean\\teca/\%a.usr" (I would actually like to use DOS
environment variables instead of f:\\users\\mcbean but that is not my
concern at the moment). Kermit does access the *.usr file on the user's
account, like I had expected. However, if I change the terminal colour
for an entry, for example, the dialusr.dat file that is being changed is
still the one on the server, not the one on the user's account. How do
I get Kermit to commit these changes to the user's dialusr.dat file and
not the server's?
Thank you in advance,
Christy McBean
