ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Installing the Elite-IMS Server ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
BEFORE YOU BEGIN - IMPORTANT!
If planning to run WIN-OS/2 or other DOS sessions while running the Elite-IMS
Server, make the following changes in the "DOS Settings" for each DOS session
you plan to run:
IDLE_SENSITIVITY=1
Installation Instructions
1. From the OS/2 2.0 Workplace Shell(WPS), open either a full-screen or
windowed OS/2 command prompt.
2. Create the directory structure on your hard disk, as shown below.
Where "Filedir n", would be a subdirectory containing like files.
Examples:
Directory File types
OS2APPS - OS/2 Applications
OS2UTILS - OS/2 Utilites
DOSAPPS - DOS Applications
NOTE: This file directory structure is not required, but can provide the
System Administrator with a more manageable system environment.
3. Copy the self-extracting file "SERVER.EXE" into the C:\ELITEIMS
subdirectory on the by typing the following:.
copy SERVER.EXE C:\ELITEIMS <cr>
4. Go to the ELITEIMS subdirectory by typing:
cd C:\ELITEIMS <cr>
5. Unarchive the Elite-IMS Server files by typing the following:
SERVER.EXE <cr>
6. The three programs: buildfor.exe, buildinf.exe, and buildreg.exe, must be
run to properly initialize the default system configuration. Failure to run
these programs will result in improper system operation! Run the programs
by typing the following while in the "C:\ELITEIMS" subdirectory:
buildfor.exe <cr>
buildinf.exe <cr>
buildreg.exe <cr>
7. Return to the OS/2 Workplace Shell(WPS), and create a new folder with the
title "Elite-IMS Server".
NOTE: See the OS/2 Command Reference for more information on creating
folders.
8. Add the following programs to the Elite-IMS folder:
Filename Description
eliteims.inf - Elite-IMS Reference*
filemgr.exe - File Manager
formgr.exe - Forum Manager
infomgr.exe - Potpourri Manager
mailmgr.exe - Mail Manager
pmtalk.exe - PM Talk Manager
portmgr.exe - System Manager
submgr.exe - Subscription/User Manager
NOTE: To install the Elite-IMS Reference, make sure that the following
parameters are entered into the program settings:
Path and file name: VIEW.EXE
Parameters: C:\ELITEIMS\ELITEIMS.INF
Working Directory: C:\ELITEIMS
NOTE: If you are unsure of how to change program settings, consult the
OS/2 Master Help utility, or the OS/2 Command Reference for detailed
information on program settings.
9. Create a startup.cmd file in the root directory of your boot drive(if one
doesn't already exist), and add the following line to the startup.cmd file:
DETACH C:\ELITEIMS\TALKMGR.EXE n,
Where "n" equals the total number of ports to be supported.
Example: On an 8-user system, if "n" were set to 8, only 7 lines available
for remote users(1 line would be allocated to PM Talk). The solution is to
make the command statement in the "startup.cmd" file reflect a larger
number of ports than are actually available. If "n" were set to 10, 2 PM
Talk sessions could be run concurrently, allowing the system manager to
"login" to the Talk Channel as himself or by using an "alias" handle, and
the system would still be capable of supporting 8 remote users.
NOTE: TALKMGR.EXE may also be started from an OS/2 command line by typing
the command string, as noted above.
To stop TALKMGR.EXE from an OS/2 command line, type the following:
KILLTALK.EXE <cr>
10. If running a multiline system, follow the hardware manufacturers'
instructions for proper installation and configuration of multi-port
hardware and software.
11. Configure all serial ports/modems (see System Manager in the Elite-IMS
On-line Reference).
12. Shutdown and restart the system to enable any changes in the config.sys and
startup.cmd files to take effect.
13. Tell Elite-IMS where all of its resources are located by setting the system
data paths.
a. Start the System Manager.
b. Select CONTROL-DATA PATHS from the application menu. The "Data Paths"
screen will open.
c. Enter the full path name for each of the system areas.
d. Select "OK" to accept the data paths as entered or "Cancel" to exit
without saving the settings.
e. You may now begin to build your system.
NOTE: For more details on DATA PATHS, see System Manager, in the Elite-IMS
On-line Reference.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Installing the Elite-IMS Client Interface ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Installation of the Elite-IMS Client Interface is a relatively simple
procedure. Follow the steps given below to insure proper installation of the
software.
Installation Instructions
1. Create a directory on your hard disk named: "C:\ELITE".
2. Copy the self-extracting file "CLIENT.EXE" into the C:\ELITE subdirectory
by typing:
copy CLIENT.EXE C:\ELITE <cr>
3. Go to the C:\ELITE subdirectory by typing:
cd C:\ELITE <cr>
4. Unarchive the file by typing:
CLIENT.EXE <cr>
5. Start a Windows or WIN-OS/2 session, and run FILE-NEW, PROGRAM ITEM from
the Program Manager to add the file "ELITE.EXE" to a Program Manager group.
a. Description: Elite-IMS Client
b. Command Line: C:\ELITE\ELITE.EXE
NOTE: If you are not sure of how to do this, check the Windows or
WIN-OS/2 Online Help utility for details.
6. "Double-click" on the newly added icon, to start the program.
7. Refer to the Elite-IMS Client Interface On-line Help facility, for more
details on setting up the Elite-IMS Client Interface for proper operation.
